On my new Ubuntu system, I start a screen session and edit a file in vim or view it in less. After I quit, the screen doesn’t redraw itself, but simply scrolls up to show a command line under all the stuff I was just viewing in vim or less.
How can I change this so that quitting vim will return me to the screen the way it was before I invoked vim?
