Interesting. Okay, I hadn't noticed this before, but the problem does seem to be particular to the Cygwin console. It doesn't occur with rxvt. Also, it doesn't occur in the Cygwin console if I start a subshell first, and invoke screen from there. Maybe useful to know. Still, I do want to solve the problem before I release screen. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
