...and no bce. Recent versions of screen allow you to set bce in its configuration, but you have to install a terminfo entry for screen which adds 'bce', so it will work properly. > The syndrome showed up _before_ I started trying to use BCE, at the > time of a mutt upgrade a year or do ago. when screen doesn't handle bce, it fills in spaces explicitly rather than using erase-line or erase-display, since background colors aren't assumed to be propagated. xterm sees those blanks when you do a select. -- Thomas E.
