Title:
  man page colors messed up just after exiting curses command

Status in “vte3” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This happens after exiting Vim when it uses some colors with index
  greater than 15. For example, run Vim (making sure it recognizes the
  256-color capabilities), set a non-default colorscheme (solarized,
  maybe). Now, exit Vim and run `man ls`. You will notice that some text
  still has the background from Vim's colorscheme. If you rerun `man ls`
  the problem disappears.

  Looks like the bug is related to ncurses commands: Vim followed by
  man's pager (less?). But not sure if the bug is strictly within
  ncurses or within libvte.
