Bug#870407: Option to reset terminal after ~. escape



Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:7.5p1-5
Severity: wishlist

If you have an ssh connection open to a remote system, running an
application that has taken over the screen and hidden the cursor (such
as mutt), and you terminate that connection with the "~." escape
sequence, the terminal will remain in the state the remote system left
it in. Please consider providing an option to send appropriate terminal
reset sequences after using "~." or "~^Z", to avoid having to manually
reset the terminal each time this happens.
