Bug#445523: xterm: an escape sequence disable ability to display bold

[Celelibi <celelibi@gmail.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 229-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
Let me describe how to reproduce this bug :
1) open a new xterm (avoid things like color/bold prompt)
2) run the command echo -e "\e[1mA\e[2J\e[7mB\e[m\e[?5h\e[?5l"
3) check that no bold can be displayed anymore : echo -e "\e[1mbold ?\e[m"

Now the only way to display bold again is to close and reopen xterm.

That's all for now
