I've been having with the cursor sometimes restoring to the wrong place when screen(1) terminates. The offending sequence of escape sequences goes ESC 7 (save cursor), ESC [?47h (switch to alternate screen), ESC 7 (save cursor _again_), do some stuff, ESC 8 (restore cursor), run screen session for a bit, ESC [?47l (return to main screen), ESC 8 (restore cursor). The final ESC 8 is expected to restore the cursor to where it was saved by the initial ESC 7. Translation: the ESC 7 saved cursor state is part of the state we must swap out when switching to the alternate screen. In other words, we need to track _four_ cursor positions: active and saved, on each of main and alternate screen. Previously we were tracking only three. [originally from svn r6788]
PuTTY README ============ This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and installed PuTTY on your system. What should I do next? ---------------------- If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the Start menu. If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP, you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows manuals for details. What do I do if it doesn't work? -------------------------------- The PuTTY home web site is http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports telling us `it doesn't work'.
