Bug Description
Hiya,
Installed: 2.82-0ubuntu1
In Lucid, I could ctrl-a, d to detatch from a byobu session and drop to a plain ssh prompt. I can't do this any more; I just get disconnected. Please could this behaviour be restored?
The reason I want this is because I'm often attached to byobu at home on the console of the machine, but don't necessarily remember to detatch before going elsewhere and needing to connect through ssh. When two places connect at once, the size of the terminal is often messed up. I used to detatch and then byobu -rAad to get to a session with a sane size. I don't appear to be able to do this any more.
Cheers.

Okay, do this ...
Press <F9> and go to the menu. Toggle off, and then back on the "launch by default" option. It should be the last in the menu. This will re-write the last line of your ~/.profile with the latest incantation.
Look in your ~/.profile. Do you see a line that looks like this?
case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher && exit 0; esac;
Edit ~/.profile and change that line to say:
case "$-" in *i*) byobu-launcher; esac;
ie, drop the "&& exit 0" part.
Now try your use case again. Does it now do what you want?
If so, let me know. I can try to add a configuration option to make this behavior toggle-able too.
