This is a rather unusual report, because I am not 100% sure, where to
file it.

But since it appeared after the latest major ncurses update, I guess I
am quite right with filing it against this package.

At first I didn't notice, because it appears only inside screen and
since my screen session is normally running very long, until a new
terminal and with it a new shell gets startet.

The problem: since the update, Pos1 and End don't work anymore inside
screen. The only changes between a working and a buggy environment are:

thanks - will check.  I would have noticed this, but rxvt + screen on
my Debian/testing doesn't work together.  The underlying problem is that
some keys (home/end, etc) are #define'd in rxvt's sources and won't
necessarily match on other systems.

( screen.rxvt does fix other keys than the ones you noticed ;-)


-TERMCAP=SC|screen|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\
+TERMCAP=SC|screen.rxvt|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\

-TERM=screen
+TERM=screen.rxvt

Resetting TERM to the old value brings both keys back to life, setting
it to screen.rxvt makes the bug reappear.
