Hello,

I'm using latest Cygwin 1.5.19-4.

If my TERM variable is set to either "cygwin" or "rxvt", after I exit 
from VI the contents of the window gets restored.
If TERM is "xterm", it does not get restored.
The same behavior is observed in both cmd-based window and in rxvt window.

Looks like a bug in "terminfo" data for "xterm" terminal.

Can anybody confirm this behavior?
If this is a confirmed bug, is there a workaround?
Will it be fixed in the future?

Thank you,
Alex
