Package: screen
Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-7
Severity: normal
I dug a bit deeper and discovered that the problem is that the Linux
console is being erroneously detected as an xterm. You can confirm this
by running :dinfo and noting xterm in the output. I traced it back to
this code from termcap.c:
if (InStr(D_termname, "xterm") || InStr(D_termname, "rxvt") ||
(D_CKM && InStr(D_CKM, "\033[M")))
D_CXT = 1;
The Km capability (which relates to the mouse) is set to "\033[M" for
the Linux console, causing this conditional to return true.
I don't know what the fix is, but I do know this .screenrc workaround
fixes it:
termcapinfo linux* Km@
