<div>
<pre>when using weston-lauch from a tty, each line of output follows the next, until
the a on the bottom of the screen has been written. after that, each successive
line overwrites the one that came before it. the tty does not scroll upon
further output.
as a result, once one quits weston, one sees a mess of lines at the bottom, and
can't know what the parting words were. if there was a crash, the printed
backtrace is not readable. the prompt then appears over the last line.
it would be nice if weston-launch scrolled upon further output.
i'm using debian jessie + a little sid, on amd64. i tested with weston master.</pre>
