man page colors messed up just after exiting curses command

[Edwin Pujols]

This happens after exiting Vim when it uses some colors with index greater than 15. For example, run Vim (making sure it recognizes the 256-color capabilities), set a non-default colorscheme (solarized, maybe). Now, exit Vim and run `man ls`. You will notice that some text still has the background from Vim's colorscheme. If you rerun `man ls` the problem disappears.

Looks like the bug is related to ncurses commands: Vim followed by man's pager (less?). But not sure if the bug is strictly within ncurses or within libvte.

Confirmed with mainstream vte-0-34 HEAD (pre-0.34.9).
Could you please report the bug upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=vte ?

[Egmont Koblinger (egmont-gmail)]

In vteseq.c the case 47/1047/1049 should call _vte_terminal_set_default_attributes (terminal); before clearing the screen. Not sure if it should go inside the "if (set)" branch, or outside.

Just now I've reported the bug to upstream.

[test case]
- open gnome-terminal.
- set colorscheme option in ~/.vimrc & save. (ex: colorsheme darkblue)
- $ vi ~/.vimrc & quite
- $ man ls

[work around]
ctrl+l or quit & retry man command.

[installed package]
$ dpkg -l | grep libvte-2.90-9
ii libvte-2.90-9 1:0.32.1-0ubuntu1

#5 patche & rebuild libvte-2.90-9 package.

vte 0.36 (gnome 3.12) will fix this.
