Hi, and thanks very much for your bug report.
I can't seem to reproduce this in 8.10 under gnome-terminal.
You said that you're running mc in screen over ssh... which system is Ubuntu? Is it just the local system, the remote system, or both systems running Ubuntu (and are they the same versions)? Do you experience this problem even when running mc under screen locally (not under ssh)? What terminal program are you using, and what does 'echo $TERM' print, both inside and outside of screen? It will also be helpful to switch on logging within screen (C-a H) before starting mc, and attach the resulting screenlog.0 file to this report (if you view it with a pager like less, it may mimick a text file; but it is actually a binary file, so treat it like one: don't attempt to copy/paste it)
Thanks! |

It's the value of $TERM that is wrong when you're running within screen. Screen sets TERM=screen before it invokes a shell, so something is changing that (most likely your shell profile or rcfile, but also look for a "setenv" command in your ~/.screenrc).
I'll go ahead and close this bug out, as it appears to be a problem with your configuration, rather than a bug with GNU Screen (or Ubuntu). Please re-open if you find this isn't the case. If you have trouble finding where TERM is being set, or how best to deal with it, please feel free to contact me directly. If you use IRC, I'm frequently at #screen on at freenode.net. |
