Package: screen
Version: 4.9.1-1
Severity: important
GNU screen outputs some data to the main screen instead of the
alternate screen. I suspect that this occurs when the session is
detached: the main screen is restored, but GNU screen still outputs
data from its current window.
I've attached a screenshot of the xterm window and the corresponding
log (compressed).
What's strange is that I think that I've never noticed this issue
before today, while it is now often reproducible. It could be
related to some other upgrade on the system.
