The following reply was made to PR misc/14959; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Matthew D. Fuller" <fullermd@futuresouth.com> To: "Ronald F. Guilmette" <rfg@monkeys.com> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: misc/14959: incomplete xterm termcap entry (see also bug gnu/5039) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 1999 15:23:21 -0600 [Cc's trimmed] On Wed, Nov 17, 1999 at 12:56:07PM -0800, a little birdie told me that Ronald F. Guilmette remarked > > 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. This was discussed a few months back (on -hackers, maybe? Don't quite remember...), and the prevailing opinion was that most people PREFERED the FreeBSD behavior. I certainly do; if I ^Z vi while I'm working I want to still be able to see the contents of it, among other things. It was a single termcap property though, IIRC. I'll see if I can't dig it out of my archives... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Unix Systems Administrator | fullermd@futuresouth.com Specializing in FreeBSD | http://www.over-yonder.net/ FutureSouth Communications | ISPHelp ISP Consulting "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
