Strange behaviour on exit

[michaelmior]

After exiting a program using multibar, I get ;1R entered into my shell prompt and some control characters (e.g. Control+C) stop working until I reset my terminal. Not sure what's going on here.

I have the same issue. In general, ctrl+c does not work consistently. I either get weird characters, repeated prints of strings, or just plain freezing.

Hmm. I thought that had been fixed. Sorry to hear about the issues! I'm not sure when I will get a chance to dig in (PRs welcome!) as I'm swamped right now. I can maybe get to it this weekend; no guarantees. Originally, the issue was the underlying terminal implementation could exit and leave mess up "raw" vs "cooked" mode. A terrible workaround, you can try typing `stty -raw` (you wont see it) to reclaim your terminal.

Unfortunately I'm not currently using multibar and I won't have the time to look at this in the near future. Thanks for the response though! If I do have a chance to get back to this, I will update.

Same issue here. I think you can also restore the terminal using the following command after app exits:

stty sane

After reading the code, I am a little bit confused by how multibar interacts with curse and curse interacts with terminal. E.g. Multibar will create a new Cursor instance whenever it needs to do something, and I think curse is doing something similar. And I don't see Restore/Close called on application exit.

IMHO there should be only one Cursor+Term instance per application, and we properly restore the terminal after application exits.
