User name in screen caption not displaying with snapshot from 28th

User name in screen caption not displaying with snapshot from 28th

[Thorsten Kampe]

Hi,

I have these two lines in my .screenr:

backtick  0 0 0 echo $LOGNAME
caption always "%{= c}[%0`@%H:%n%f  %{w}%t  %{r}loadavg: %l  %=%{g}%Y-%
m-%d %0c:%s]%{d}"

Screen always displayed this until cygwin1-20110520.dll as 
[thorsten@hombre:0$    loadavg: 0.00 0.00 0.00      2011-05-30 17:20:46]

Starting with cygwin1-20110528.dll it displays as:
[@hombre:0$    loadavg: 0.00 0.00 0.00      2011-05-30 17:20:46]

$LOGNAME is nonetheless set

Thorsten

Thorsten, can you confirm that the difference is only due to cygwin1.dll,
and not to a different version of screen?

The reason I ask is that I did just issue a minor update to screen, version
4.0.3-7.  The build didn't change AFAIK - I just added some documentation -
but I'd like to be sure.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Yes, I can confirm that. It's sounds to me like it maybe connected to 
the pipe issue. "backtick" = "The output of such a command is used for 
substitution of the "%`" string escape."
