Guilmette >Release: FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE i386 >Organization: E-Scrub Technoligies, Inc. >Environment: xterm window running on whatever version of XFree86 comes with 3.3 >Description: When running (n)vi in an xterm window, (n)vi should save the current xterm window contents on startup and then restore the old xterm contentx upon exit (or backgrounding). But it doesn't. I believe that this is actually due to some incompletness in the stock termcap entry for `xterm' hat is being distributed with FreeBSD 3.3. (See also bug gnu/5039 which may or may not be related.) >How-To-Repeat: Start up vi (on any file) and then exit vi. Note that the old xterm window contents are not restored. >Fix: I wish I knew. I fixed this same *&^%$# problem about ten centuries ago in the terminfo entry for `xterm' on my old Linux system, but I'll be damned if I can find any old notes about how I did that now. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
