Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/250

I've been writing a proof of concept CRUD interface for a simple table with Tview, and it's remarkably well documented. I ran into an issue when removing a form using RemovePage where the terminal returns to the previous screen (a table which I regenerate), yet the input is completely locked. I must control-c out. I worked around this by overwriting pages and not using RemovePage. I thought I should report it.

Relevant code:
https://bitbucket.org/Demosthenex/gotviewaddressbook/src/b0ff7659aad9eb4842b19881d29446e9029ce290/addressbook.go

Run it, press enter on any contact, quit the form without changes. It goes back to the list and is locked.

Thanks for spotting this. Indeed, removing the only visible page left you with no visible page. I fixed it so there is always a visible page when a page is removed.
