>Originator:     Mike Meyer
>Release:        FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT i386
>Organization:
Meyer Consulting
>Environment:

	Build on -current cvsupped July 21, 2000. Kernel from July 16, 2000.
	It's not clear when the problem appeared.

>Description:

	The sc console device is left in reverse video mode after a quit
	from less or more. This doesn't seem to happen with xterms.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Log into an sc console, and try "more /etc/termcap". At the
	bottom of the first page, hit the "q" key. Notice that the
	last line is reverse video. Try "clear", and get a screen
	that's reverse video. To clear this, use "more /etc/motd" (or
	some short file) and page through to the end. You can then
	recreate the problem with a "less /etc/termcap" and quiting
	early. Less cannot be used to fix the problem.

>Fix:

	Sorry, I don't have it :-(.

 Kernel must be updates since syscons changed. Leaving old variant in
 termcap is not possible, because the bug: all attributes turned off on
 "se" instead of standout only.

Mike, could you confirm that this isn't a problem in today's 
CURRENT with an up-to-date termcap database?  I can't

 Yes, this is no longer a problem. Andrey nailed it, and as soon as I
 got the kernel & userland back in sync, the problem went away.
