Lately, I've noticed that text apps under xterm snap back to the |
2 |
original screen after the app finishes. This doesn't happen with all |
3 |
apps. When I hit "q" in "top", the output stays on the screen. But |
4 |
other apps like "mtr" and "vim" and "less" restore the screen from which |
5 |
they were launched, which is extremely annoying. |

A long time ago I ran into this problem and was advised to add |
8 |
"XTerm*titeInhibit: true" in .Xresources. It seems to have stopped |
9 |
working recently. Last night on a web forum people were comparing |
10 |
response times from 1.1.1.1 DNS server. I ran "mtr" in xterm but the |
11 |
output would disapper entirely when I hit "q". I managed to freeze the |
12 |
output with {CTRL}{S} so I could do a copy/paste into a post. But I'd |
13 |
like a clean solution rather than a clunky workaround. |
