Synopsis: incomplete xterm termcap entry (see also bug gnu/5039) State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: sheldonh State-Changed-When: Thu Nov 18 02:33:06 PST 1999 State-Changed-Why: > Given what I now know about the behavior of `more', it now seems > clearer to me that ever that the Right Solution for this unfortnate > situation is to leave the screen save/restore capability in the > termcap database and then to merely add command options to programs > (e.g. vi, more, etc) that would say, in effect ``Don't do that!'' To quote back to you your own rantings from earlier on in the same thread: > OK. Then you should go and make the rounds and talk with ALL of the > maintainers of those programs and tell them all to add options that > will allow you to _disable_ the screen save/restore capabilities > which their authors labored to produce. Have fun petitioning the maintainers of all the packages whose behaviour annoys you. :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
