SSH overwritting screen after full screen program

SSH overwritting screen after full screen program

avatar

Hey guys,

I have noticed a problem with SSH when connected to Unix (CentOS specifically).

If I use it for a while (So the terminal screen starts scrolling down) then open a full screen program (Eg. Nano or Vi), when I exit out of the program the cursor appears half way up the screen instead of at the bottom. Because of this, it begins to overwrite whatever was on that line as I type.

Any clues? I have tried it in Putty, Plink and Kitty modes.



Thanks,
Karl

Does this happen when you use it in external mode?

When you say external mode do you mean un-docked or using the external PuTTY program?

If I undock the window, it still happens. If I use PuTTY, it doesn't happen.

Hello Karl Hakkinen, sorry to hijack your post. I am having the same problem under Unbutu 14.04, this happens on any full screen apps. Nano and vi among others. The current solution is clearing screen manually by doing cls.

I noticed this happens more frequently after working with a terminal after long hours. When RDM is freshly launched, this problem doesn't occur.

For me it happens even on a fresh launch. I find it happens once the screen fills with text (And starts filling the off screen buffer) and then I run Nano or Vi (Or any full screen program).

Could you try to install RDM 10.1.8? We've just updated the third party we use in embedded mode and they did a lot of mix fixes.

Already tried that, no difference.

It happened today on Raspbian, I managed to take a video of the problem.

As I said for my case, this only happens after i've been working in ssh after a long while.

Just thought I would update, the problem is still occurring.

Thank you Karl.
I will try to contact the third party and notify them. On another note we are working on our own engine implementation based on Putty. This will allow us to have more control over the bugs.
