byobu forcibly stops 256colors from happening on screen

[Chow Loong Jin]

  affects ubuntu/byobu

In the following snippet from /usr/bin/byobu, SCREEN_TERM is set to "screen"
instead of "screen-256color" when facing a terminal that has 256 colors.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  if $BYOBU_TEST tput >/dev/null; then
   if [ "$(tput colors 2>/dev/null || echo 0)" = "256" ]; then
    SCREEN_TERM="-T screen"
   fi
  fi

I'm trying to reproduce your error...

What terminal are you using?

gnome-terminal, with TERM=xterm-256color. The issue here is that there's some
inverted logic there when `tput colors` = 256, as mentioned in the description
-- when tput colors is 256, then SCREEN_TERM="-T screen" instead of "-T
screen-256color". Changing that line quoted in the description fixes the issue.
