          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 81311
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: weston-launch doesn't scroll the tty upon further
                    output.
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: sudoman at ninthfloor.org
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 1.5.0
         Component: weston
           Product: Wayland

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.
