Package: screen Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-5 Severity: important Followup-For: Bug #684929
Dear Maintainer, I can confirm that this still happens (in Linux console, not in xterm) and it is a regression to previous screen versions. The corruption of the first line occurs whenever one switches a window. In applications that do not redraw screen very wildly (e.g. vim or shell backlog), it is visible as an extraneous ";screen" string in the top left corner inserted in front of the first line of the screen content. It makes screen usage fairly annoying and it occurs not only in applications like mutt or elinks where the top line is just a title or legend, but also in e.g. vim. That can be very confusing to users, possibly editing important files (all the more likely when used on Linux console), so I would like to bump the bug severity. A workaround is to press Ctrl-L in the application, which will usually result in a redraw that erases the glitch. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.3.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages screen depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.46 ii dpkg 1.16.8 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-10 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libtinfo5 5.9-10 screen recommends no packages.
