Comment 11 for bug 1566437

Getting this with 1.91 on Arch, it likes to happen during package updates for some reason.

I found a hacky workaround - add this to your $PS1:

\[\e[?1049l\e[?2004l\e[?1006l\e[?1002l\e[?1001r\e[?1l\]

It'll fix it as soon as you get to a prompt.

Given how randomly it happens, I believe there is a real bug in Terminator; but if you want to force the broken state, just open 'mc' and run 'pkill mc' from another terminal, your scrolling will be broken.

A way to debug this kind of thing is to run e.g 'mc > trace.txt'. Then type 'exit', hit return, and mc will quit. You will get all the escape sequences from mc in trace.txt to inspect.
