Comment 10 for bug 1350810

Hi TenLeftFingers,

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this issue.

However as to whether the issue lies, I would counter that gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 14.04 could connect to the same Debian 8 server and not suffer the issue, whereas the issue does occur when connecting with gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 16.04. The versions of byobu and tmux on the Debian 8 server had not changed between connecting from Ubuntu 14.04 and connecting from Ubuntu 16.04

Yes it's true that byobu on Ubuntu 16.04 itself doesn't suffer the issue, but it appears something within Ubuntu has changed between 14.04 and 16.04 which causes the difference in behaviour when connecting to the same Debian 8 server.

Whether whatever has changed in Ubuntu should be considered a bug, or an expected change, is probably another question - I'd perhaps argue it is a bug, but we'll have to see. Either way, we need to find out what has changed.
