Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-0.2
Severity: wishlist

On machines with multiple megabytes of RAM, like 486s and Pentiums,
GNU Screen can capture massive amounts of scrollback.  Yet the default
in /etc/screenrc is just 1024 lines.

IMO, 8192 or even 32768 lines would be a better setting.  It would
prevent frustrating incidents of "I used the cat command on a big file
and now I lost something I needed from scrollback". Anyone who didn't
like the new setting could change it back in their screenrc.

Cheers,
Jason
