It sounds like something may be screwing with your termios (stty) settings. You might check to see if one of the apps you're using is screwing with that; and also whether one screen window can exhibit this problem while another does not. You said "^? and ^t", but I'm assuming that you meant "^I" for tab, as that's the usual designation. - -- Micah J. Cowan Programmer, musician, typesetting enthusiast, gamer.
