Control: severity -1 grave
as contents from the main screen (which should not be touched!) is lost.
This occurs whether the physical terminal is xterm or GNOME Terminal.
I'm more and more thinking of a recent incompatibility between
packages (so, possibly not a bug in the screen package itself).
A machine where the latest upgrade was done on 2025-04-24 is affected.

This also removes content from the main screen!
To reproduce the issue, I suggest to start xterm remotely via a
slow network. I have the following in my usual .screenrc file:
hardstatus off
hardstatus string "[%n] %?%h %?(%t)"
termcapinfo xterm*|rxvt*|mlterm|xfce4-terminal
hs:ts=\E]2;:fs=^G:ds=\E]2;TITLEDISABLED^G
caption always "%{.mY}%?%P%{.b.}%?%?%E%{.r.}%?%0c %S[%n] %t%=@%H"
This allows me to notice the issue more easily (some text is displayed
then cleared).
