But you know the best bit about xterm? Whoever invented tite was a moron, but fortunately we have settings for that:
! This resource specifies whether or not to ignore the 'alternate screen' ! of applications such as vi. When it is on, these applications will restore ! the contents of the screen when they are exited to what they were before ! they were started. When it is off, the contents of vi will remain on the ! screen after the program is quit (seriously, who do I shoot to make sure ! that this ridiculous concept never appears again?) XTerm.VT100.titeInhibit: true !and then allow an extra screenfull of scroll when screen "alternated" XTerm.VT100.tiXtraScroll: true
The other terms don't appear to have this for the most part.
I've never noticed because I do the equivalent in .screenrc: altscreen on # GUIs don't clobber scrollback ## This makes screen leak about 100MB of memory per day :-( # defscrollback 32767
