Description of problem: I have developed a simple tool for running two terminals in parallel by remote-control via a third. The tool periodically scrapes both terminals and presents a real-time diff view between the two for the purposes of regression testing a terminal-based application. The screen utility is used for remote control as well as the screen scraping, but screen seems to not pass some keystrokes through as expected while most all work just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Tested and failed with: * screen-4.1.0-0.3.20101110git066b098.fc15.x86_64 (on F15) * screen-4.0.3-15.fc12.x86_64 (on both F13 and F14) How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In a terminal, launch a screen session for remote control: screen -D -R -p 1 -S mytest less /etc/services 2. In a second terminal, remotely send a PgDn keystroke to prove working interaction: screen -x 24660.mytest -X stuff ^[[6~ Note that the argument for -x will be different for your session. When entering the escape-sequence shown above, I merely type Ctrl-V followed by the PgDn key in bash. Each time this command is executed in the second terminal, the first terminal should respond with less moving one page down in the /etc/services file. This works as expected. 3. Now try sending the End key or the Home key from the second terminal: screen -x 24660.mytest -X stuff ^[[F screen -x 24660.mytest -X stuff ^[[H Neither command produces the expected response in the first terminal. Actual results: Most all keys can be stuffed into the first session as expect, but Home and End just do not work. Expected results: Home/End to work like all other keys. Additional info: Running 'od -c' in the first terminal would make it appear that the escape-sequence is being sent through unmolested, so I'm at a loss as to why less would not respond in the expected way.
Shift-Tab is another keystroke affected similarly.

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
