The very fact that that can happen is a bug. After exiting whatever
application triggered "alternate screen", normal scrolling should be
reestablished. The terminal shouldn't rely on applications exiting
cleanly.


Also note that the behavior described at point (3) (the scrollwheel behaving 
like the up and down keys) makes no sense, it's inconsistent, useless and 
annoying. It should be eliminated altogether.
