    This is still annoying to do that, and very easy to forget.

    I changed severity to wishlist as this is a cosmetic thing and by no
    means causes any harm.

    I disagree. This is a bug, and at least a normal bug. If the user
    starts another application without doing a reset first, this can
    really do nasty things, possibly causing data loss (e.g. if some
    characters that are sent correspond to a delete operation in this
    application).
