My TERM=xterm-16color when it does that for me. Setting TERM=xterm does fix it. Thanks. I couldn't find anything I recognized as relevant in the screen(1) man page. I played with using the screen termcap command to set the value of Z1, but to no effect. Here is the output of "infocmp -d xterm xterm-16color", FWIW. comparing xterm to xterm-16color. comparing booleans. comparing numbers. colors: 8, 16. ncv: NULL, 32. pairs: 64, 256. comparing strings. setab: '\E[4%p1%dm', '\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%'('%+%e%p1%{92}%+%;%dm'. setaf: '\E[3%p1%dm', '\E[%?%p1%{8}%<%t%p1%{30}%+%e%p1%'R'%+%;%dm'. setb: '\E[4%?%p1%{1}%=%t4%e%p1%{3}%=%t6%e%p1%{4}%=%t1%e%p1%{6}%=%t3%e%p1%d%;m', '%p1%{8}%/%{6}%*%{4}%+\E[%d%p1%{8}%m%Pa%?%ga%{1}%=%t4%e%ga%{3}%=%t6%e%ga%{4}%=%t1%e%ga%{6}%=%t3%e%ga%d%;m'. setf: '\E[3%?%p1%{1}%=%t4%e%p1%{3}%=%t6%e%p1%{4}%=%t1%e%p1%{6}%=%t3%e%p1%d%;m', '%p1%{8}%/%{6}%*%{3}%+\E[%d%p1%{8}%m%Pa%?%ga%{1}%=%t4%e%ga%{3}%=%t6%e%ga%{4}%=%t1%e%ga%{6}%=%t3%e%ga%d%;m'. > But there is an incompatibility with xterm here.

Thanks also for providing the latest versions of mintty for Cygwin 1.5 on your web site. I haven't migrated all my systems to 1.7 yet. > Thanks for the report. You're welcome.
