Strange behavior with the color of the scenario changing from time to time in linux

I am observing a strange behavior with the color of the scenario changing from time to time in linux, verified here.

[tig]

Very odd.

[BDisp]

Yeah. Do you remember the other time you said that the console was just black and white? This was what was happening. Are you using the TERM = xterm-1006 setting on linux?

[tig]

I don't know what that is. I have never changed any settings on Linux. Sorry.

I can't repro this in WSL under Windows Terminal.

Just repo'd it (didn't change any "TERM" settings since I don't actually know what those are):

[BDisp]

Aha. TERM=xterm-1006 allows you to use the mouse across the screen. You can try clicking more to the right of the screen and the mouse stops working because Linux suspends the system in some way.
If you want to use this configuration do the following:

nano .bashrc

And at the end add:

export TERM=xterm-1006

Save and restart WSL

The cause is the Curses.endwin () call which forces the restoration of linux to default and does not allow any further calls to be made to any Curses functions. It is not easy to solve, because as there are no more Toplevels you can not just call this function if it really is to close the program completely. In windows this is no problem. Same as #536
