This release includes a small change to the default /etc/screenrc, that has been reported to fix a screen corruption problem that some users - okay, Shaddy :) - have reported after detaching from screen[1,2]. If you're a screen user, it'd be helpful if you'd first determine if you have the symptom: the cursor appearing in the middle of the terminal buffer, intermingled with other lines of text, after you detach or exit a screen session. If you do have that problem, please install the test release and see if it fixes it. Be sure that your /etc/screenrc is the same as the new default, /etc/defaults/etc/screenrc. Or if you've customized /etc/screenrc, you can just comment out the lines: # # Do not use xterms alternate window buffer. # This one would not add lines to the scrollback buffer. termcap xterm|xterms|xs ti=3D\E7\E[?47l terminfo xterm|xterms|xs ti=3D\E7\E[?47l Then report here what you found. Even if you don't have the screen corruption problem, it'd be helpful to test this release and report here whether it causes any problems for you. Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells. Each virtual terminal provides the functions of the DEC VT100 terminal and, in addition, several control functions from the ANSI X3.64 (ISO 6429) and ISO 2022 standards (e.g., insert/delete line and support for multiple character sets). There is a scrollback history buffer for each virtual terminal and a copy-and-paste mechanism that allows the user to move text regions between windows. When screen is called, it creates a single window with a shell in it (or the specified command) and then gets out of your way so that you can use the program as you normally would. Then, at any time, you can create new (full-screen) windows with other programs in them (including more shells), kill the current window, view a list of the active windows, turn output logging on and off, copy text between windows, view the scrollback history, switch between windows, etc. All windows run their programs completely independent of each other. Programs continue to run when their window is currently not visible and even when the whole screen session is detached from the user's terminal. Andrew E.
