Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-7
Severity: minor

When one types '>' in the copy mode, this terminates the copy mode.
The screen(1) man page says concerning the copy mode:

   > sets the (second) mark and writes the contents of the paste  buffer
     to the screen-exchange file (/tmp/screen-exchange per default) once
     copy-mode is finished.

but "once copy-mode is finished" doesn't mean that copy mode has been
terminated by typing this key '>'. It should say instead:

   > sets the (second) mark, writes the contents of the paste buffer
     to the screen-exchange file (/tmp/screen-exchange per default)
     and exits copy mode.
