Its purpose was to be a compatibility fix for a missing feature of freebsd xterm, but in its current form it causes console text to be cleared (scrolled off-screen) when you press ctrl+o to view it. This is a big annoyance when one wants to see the output of a command. The patch was fine before, but on Sep 23, along with the 4.8.13 update, one part of its two paired-up patch blocks was removed, possibly as an oversight (r369133, http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=369133 ). One month later, a bugreport was submitted describing what happened and how to fix it (#194627, https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194627 ). Yet another month later, the port's maintainer has abandoned(?) it and reset the 'maintainer' to ports@. I would like to request that this problem be finally resolved. The fix is to either apply the patch shown in the bugreport, or, equivalently, revert to r335823 and adjust all line numbers by -1 to make it apply cleanly.
