Probably. I don't really know of an easy way to track down the source of the problem, though. If I had to track it down, I'd probably run screen under script, and isolate what series of control sequences was sent that changed the cursor. GNU Teseq might possibly help with that, as it can convert escape sequences to/from human-editable text. If you do this, you'll probably want to use the ti@:te@ trick to prevent screen from using any alternate buffer your terminal may provide, which might make debugging troublesome (of course, it might be part of the reproduction steps, too...). Things'll be much easier if you manage to find someone who knows what sorts of things might change your cursor in your terminal. If it mostly just happens in ncurses, you might try tweaking your "altscreen" setting in your .screenrc, or checking what your screen terminfo says to send on smcup or smkx (out of curiosity, what _does_ it say for those? for screen and your host term type?) - -- Micah J.
