- I have a problem with scrolling on the console screens that occasionally
- occurs after exiting from elvis. I'm not sure if it's a problem with
- termcap, the console driver, or something else.
-
- When it happens, only the bottom line of the screen gets updated, and
- blank lines get scrolled up the rest of the screen. Clear fixes the
- scrolling, but setterm -reset doesn't.
-
- I'm using Linux 0.97pl1, setterm 0.96b, and the con80x25 termcap entry
- from the setterm package. (And Elvis 1.5.)
-
- Is there any way to fix this?
