Same thing in phoebe2 ( 8.0.93 ). man-1.5k-2 All default settings; shell is bash etc. Works for me with current packages - does it work for you? Yes, but there is still something weird : man ls press ctrl-Z after the page appear : no shell prompt. press RETURN -> shell prompt appears. This happens if ctrl-z is pressed in less than 9 seconds after man ls is started. If pressed after 9 or more seconds, then it behaves OK. More info : kernel-2.4.20-2.21 -> man on ctrl-z exits ( terminates ) kernel-2.4.20-2.41 -> man on ctrl-z stops, with the 9 second issue descibed in comment #3 I'm going to leave this as a feature for upstream. Most apps that do non-trivial screen manipulation with a library have to be specifically written to support application suspension. (that is, put the terminal in a sane state) Hence the need for a "terminal reset" feature in most X-based terminal programs... *** Bug 73002 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** > most X-based terminal programs
? I was doing everything on text console, without X
The analogy for a terminal reset in the console would be something like "stty sane" |
Description of problem: If I press ctrl-Z when man is displaying a manual page, then man can not be restored any more. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5j-12.i386.rpm How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. login on VT1 2. "man sfdisk" 3. ctrl-Z 4. "fg" Actual results: man exits Expected results: man resumes and can be used to view the page Additional info: ctrl-Z works fine with other programs, like sleep , less or vi
