We had a case a number of years ago where this caused a problem. We used a VTAM session manager and a programmer turned the Autoupdate display and then left his desk. The session manager went to a password required screen after some period of inactivity and the SDSF screen images kept accumulating. Soon enough it terminated with an 878 abend.
Bye-bye Autoupdate.

ATTN (function [sys attn] in PCOMM) often being mapped to the ESC key. Pressing it only once usually brings you back to the application menu screen.
