Description Dan Horák 2025-12-02 14:04:17 UTC
After the introduction of screen 5.0 in Fedora 42 I have noticed that I can't type in shell provided by screen on my s390x systems. Finally I have spent some time looking into it and found https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?item_id=67607 which describes the same issue. The provided patch/revert needs a similar change for telnet.{c,h}, but I have successfully tested it.

Reproducible: Always

hmm, seems bugzilla can't link to https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs
