Issue #2397 has been updated by John Marino. Status changed from New to Feedback
This patch fixes the issue for me: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~marino/0002-xterm-Remove-ability-to-restore-console-after-man-le.patch I touched /usr/src/lib/libnurses/libncurses/Makefile after applying it, then ran "make -j 8 quickworld && make installworld". After that, man(1) and the pagers don't restore the screen after running. If you confirm, I'll commit the patch. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2397: xterm window content cleared after man(1) exit http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2397 Author: Francois Tigeot Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Starting with commit 3ac91e86fba7d34199699a87e1ff109aacc8eec4 "ncurses: move USE_GETCAP, update README files", xterm now clears its window when the end of a man page is reached and the man(1) program exits. The behavior makes it impossible to read a complete man page without piping the output to less(1), which is very annoying. setting TERM=cons25 in xterm can be used as a workaround but breaks curse-based applications. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
