It's a ncurses problem. Our new version contains a
workaround. You
can get it from:

Sorry, first time posting on bigzilla, didn't see the previous post.

I compiled the new screen version(3.7.6) and all problems are gone.

The Linux Server machine is only a pentium 166 with 128MB RAM and a
6.4 GB IDE Drive.
