Hopefully somebody can shed some light on this relatively minor problem.
If I exit from a 'man' page halfway through its contents using control C
(^C) then subsequent pressing on the Enter key fails to move the prompt
onto a new line. Instead the new prompt appears further along the
original line. Any characters I enter fail to appear at the prompt until
after I push the Enter key. At the moment I have to start a new xterm to
get round this (or try to remember to not use ^C in a man page)
eg./ Rather then getting:
Myprompt> [Enter]
Myprompt> [Enter]
Myprompt>
I get:
Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt> [Enter] Myprompt>
Thankyou for your time,
Jonathan Wall
