Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2001-07-12 12:14:23 UTC

Putting 'bindkey -d -k kb stuff \010' in .screenrc fixes it.  This came from 
the default .screenrc in Seawolf, but is missing in the current tree.

Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-07-13 22:16:02 UTC

This defect considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.

Comment 3 David Balažic 2001-07-26 09:01:40 UTC

This is a screen bug.
Redhat uses a workaround ( 'bindkey -d -k kb stuff \010' in the /etc/screenrc )
screen-3.9.9-1 installs an empty /etc/screenrc -> see bug #49535

Comment 4 Crutcher Dunnavant 2001-08-03 20:50:43 UTC

fixed. (well, the hack is fixed.)

Comment 5 David Balažic 2004-06-18 11:39:43 UTC
