Bug Description

Binary package hint: screen

Wed 29 Apr 2009 06:40:39 PM UTC, original submission from Kees Cook:

If several people are attached to a multi-user screen session and the are in read-only mode, each time they press a key, all attached screens will ring the bell. The code causing this is in window.c:

/* XXX FIXME only display !*/
WBell(fore, visual_bell);

I would like to propose using Msg() instead, to mimic the behavior seen for disallowed screen commands seen in process.c:

Msg(0, "write: permission denied (user %s)", D_user->u_name);
