That does appear to be the case.  In looking at the output of script, I see
a ^[[?1l^[ but no corresponding 1h.

I'll attach the 975 byte gzipped typescript to this message.

That does resolve the intermediate problem.  That explains why I'd
sometimes get it to work again, because I'd play around in the menus, but
had been unable to identify exactly what the problem is.

So, is sending the smkx the responsibility of the application or ncurses?
