Comment 1 Lon Hohberger 2002-11-22 14:53:15 UTC

Screen's UTF-8 support does not work properly, and so we removed it from 8.0. 
As you can see if you type 'set', LANG generally is "en_US.UTF-8", which causes
the problems you are seeing.

export LANG=en_US 

at the end of ~/.bashrc - this should cause the problem to go away.

Comment 2 Lon Hohberger 2002-12-05 21:04:58 UTC

Going to evaluate screen-3.9.13 to see if the UTF-8 problems have been fixed
(thus, allowing us to include UTF-8 support again).

Comment 5 Lon Hohberger 2002-12-05 21:21:16 UTC

3.9.13 looks promising.  It seems to fix the bug (see #65344) which caused us to
remove UTF-8 support in the first place.

Comment 6 Clemens Schwaighofer 2002-12-11 07:43:04 UTC

just when will it be in rawhide ? or in updates for 8.0 ... cause I think
without utf8 things like mc, ntsysv and other ncurses based stuff behave a bit
strange and are actually unusable.

Comment 7 Lon Hohberger 2002-12-11 14:37:51 UTC

I'm not sure.  For now, you can grab it from:

http://people.redhat.com/lhh/screen-3.9.13-2.i386.rpm

Since it's not a released version yet, hold off on filing bugs until it makes it
into (at least) rawhide.

Comment 8 Lon Hohberger 2002-12-16 21:30:45 UTC

3.9.13-2 is now in rawhide:

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/screen-3.9.13-2.i386.rpm

Internal testing reports that this fixes the problem.  Reopen if it is still broken.
