When you're using shift-PageUp you're not using screen at all, you're using xterm (or gnometerminal, whatever...) On xterm, the middle-button menu has "Scroll to bottom on key press" and "Scroll to bottom on tty output"; the latter is what causes the behaviour you see. (I don't think you can fix

Yeah, I don't quite see how a screenrc would help either; mine is nine lines, but 5 of them are trivial choices, and the others are arguably workarounds for screen bugs: vbell off escape ^\a # let prompts appear in the titlebar # any xterm, change xterm, change scre

Re: screen -X scripting behavior

2008-03-19 Thread Mark Eichin
I'm pretty sure that's just buggy (because at least in some versions of screen, what it does seems to depend on whether you run that script from inside screen or outside of it, making it difficult to do exactly that kind of automation.) However, while I've seen it in 4.00.02, that's ancient, I hav
