oddity with lynx and ubuntu 28.04

[Linux for blind general discussion]

If I am using lynx at a console and I switch consoles it shuts down my 
lynx.  For example if I am running lynx in console 3 and use alt-f4 to 
switch to console 4 it will shutdown the lynx in console 3 or rather it is 
shutdown when I return to that console.  Nothing looks odd in dmesg or 
syslog.

Any ideas why this is happening?
