I have used tmux, recently; and this might have happened. This does not explain the many instances long before i started using it. I am running i3 Manjaro GNU/Linux and have been for over two years. For a time i used the st terminal emulator, and urxvt, mostly recently. Perhaps experiments along this line would be suggested. I sure hope i3 has not been involved. I appreciate these responses.
