Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-11
Severity: minor
Running screen inside a screen session throught open_init_pty while
using the xfce4-terminal terminal emulator results in incorrect cursor
positioning during ncurses screen writes resulting in a corrupted
terminal.
This is an unusual combination which is why it is minor. Of course the full
combo may not be necessary, it may be just screen in screen that is the problem.
I'll try with xterm soonish.

Hi,
This bug has been open for over 15 years without a followup.
There is insufficient detail here for me to reproduce.
Closing as stale/unreproducible.
Please feel free to reopen if you're able to reproduce this on the
latest unstable version.
