Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-7
Severity: wishlist

In my screenrc I use the following to keep screen messages the same
colour as normal, because I don't like the bright white background (my
white-on-black urxvt renders standout (sorendition =s dd) as reverse
video).

    sorendition = dd            # uncoloured messages

This normally works fine because the cursor still shows where the
point is -- it's like using Emacs without transient-mark-mode enabled.
However I just noticed that C-a " (windowlist -b) the cursor is always
in the bottom left corner of the screen, so with my no-change
sorendition, it's not possible to tell which window is selected.

It would be nice if :windowlist placed the cursor somewhere on the
selected line, e.g. in the first column.  Without recompiling screen
to support 101 or more windows (Debian's screen is compiled with
support for 40), this column is always empty.
