Package: screen Version: 4.5.0-4.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch I reported this bug upstream but got no response: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48594
screen forgets the previous setting of "defflow" after reattaching, for example with "screen -r" or the lockscreen command. This causes the "flow" setting to be wrong in any window created after reattaching. Steps to reproduce: 1. "echo 'defflow off' > screenrc.tmp" 2. "screen -c screenrc.tmp" 3. "C-a i" in window 0 shows "-(+)flow" 4. "C-a d" to detach 5. "screen -r" to reattach 6. "C-a i" in window 0 still shows "-(+)flow" 7. "C-a c" to create window 1 8. "C-a i" in window 1 shows the wrong flow setting: "+flow" The attached defflow.patch fixes the problem for me. The version "4.5.0-4.1" in this bug report refers to my locally built version of 4.5.0-4 that includes defflow.patch. I have been maintaining the patch locally for a while but it would be nice not to have to rebuild the package every time the Debian package is updated. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages screen depends on: ii libc6 2.24-9 ii libpam0g 1.1.8-3.5 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1 screen recommends no packages.
