Re: bug in cursor window control - but which package?

[Chad Miller <cmiller@optilinkcomm.net>]

I can reproduce this (or something similar) by resizing the window,
while in 'vi'.  I think it happens only with programs that seize the
window contents, and attempt to restore them at exit.

Is that what you're referring to?
