if top is suspended while on the 2nd level help screen the <Enter> key is no longer honored. Thus, users must use <Esc> to exit help and return to the main display. Also, line input that was only partially complete when suspended would still require one additional keystroke before the read was aborted and the display refreshed. Lastly, some user interactions might require two input lines before an operation can be considered completed. Thus the 2nd line offers another opportunity for users to suspend top. Resumption would require an extra key. These issues stem from 2 recent enhancements: preserve the user context when signaled; complete input editing with cursor movement keys, insert/overtype modes, etc. With this patch, the <Enter> key is once again honored on help screen #2 and partial reads are now completed. (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): bug reported http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/top-over-the-top,25 response to ^Z (partial solution) commit5c3fffcf28line input editing commit477b10c0bdpreserve context with SIGWINCH commitba9092ad83Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
