Peter Hofmann 2fc7e532b2 Don't scroll selection on the other screen
Fixes garbage selections when switching to/from the alternate screen.

How to reproduce:

-   Be in primary screen.
-   Select something.
-   Run this (switches to alternate screen, positions the cursor at the
    bottom, triggers selscroll(), and then goes back to primary screen):

        tput smcup; tput cup $(tput lines) 0; echo foo; tput rmcup

-   Notice how the (visual) selection now covers a different line.

The reason is that selscroll() calls selnormalize() and that cannot find
the original range anymore. It's all empty lines now, so it snaps to
"select the whole line".

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install

----------
If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile
the st terminfo entry with the following command:
