Bug#383384: bug confirmed also on latest xterm releases

[Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>]

Package: xterm
Version: 234-1
Followup-For: Bug #383384


Hi,

I can confirm this behaviour is present also in latest xterm releases.

Someone said xterm has always behaved this way, but it is very annoying to have
to type "reset" every once in a while to fix the term.

So please, could you consider giving a look at this?
Should we switch to another terminal emulator? ;)

Many thanks,
   Antonio Ospite
