Oh, ok. If that worked before with byobu, that was likely a feature of
byobu (despite I wonder how they managed to do that :-).

It maybe related to the fact that byobu switched from using screen to
using tmux by default a while ago.

Depends. Now that you mentioned that this is some kind of regression
it may be considered as feature wish for screen.

Likely the same as now. There hasn't changed much in screen in Ubuntu
the last years. Even raring still has 4.0.3.

Dustin may be able to answer this.
