Package: screen Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-5 Severity: normal Hi, the new screen has introduced a bug that makes the split management almost unusable. After many tests and searches it seems related to the alternate screen support, so here how to reproduce it:
- enable the alternate screen: ^A :altscreen on - be sure to have at least two windows opened, then split with ^A S - open Vim - make the current region bigger with ^A :resize 83% (same with +number or while decreasing the other size) or remove it entirely with ^A X - close Vim and screen crashes with [screen caught signal 11. (core dumped)] The same thing happens with Midnight Commander when the size of the region increases; it also crashes immediately if launched automatically at the startup. I tried in Xterm, Urxvt and tty, I was in trouble to crash Vim in tty but eventually I won; MC doesn't crash but it can't redraw the screen properly, so it makes a mess with the text. Here a small .screenrc that should make tests easier, the two commented lines make screen crashing immediately when you focus the MC window: -------8<-------------------------------------------- altscreen on bind + resize +3 bind - resize -3 bind = resize = bind * resize max bind / resize 83% screen 0 bash screen 1 bash ### screen 2 mc -x split focus bottom ### resize 83% select 0 -------8<-------------------------------------------- And here some related bug report I've found. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?35757 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?26742 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=784504 Ciao. skizzhg -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages screen depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.44 ii dpkg 1.16.4.3 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 screen recommends no packages.
