Q61611: CodeView Does Not Reset Initial Graphics Mode on Exit

When CodeView exits, it leaves the screen in the current video mode
and does not reset the mode to the mode that was active when CodeView
was initially loaded.

This behavior is by design. However, if you start CodeView with the /s
option to enable screen swapping, the video mode that was active when
CodeView was loaded will be reset because CodeView has separate
swappable video memory pages to hold the output screen as well as the
CodeView screen.
