Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-4.1sarge1
Severity: normal
Consider the following two ways to create a new screen session:
1) starting screen with a plain 'screen'
This works fine, from withing gnome-terminal we have
$ echo "TERMCAP=$TERMCAP"
TERMCAP=SC|screen|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\

2) Starting screen with 'screen -dm; screen -r'
This works, but we have lost some capabilities, for example the editor
jed (apt-get install jed) no longer shows text in bold, and pressing
'control and s' no longer initiates isearch (also true in emacs) - you
can work around this by pressing '^A s' where A is the escape
character. It seems that in method 2, screen uses a much reduced
TERMCAP:
$ echo "TERMCAP=$TERMCAP$"
TERMCAP=SC|screen|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\

which means 'screen -dm' is not very useful if you intend to later run
something that needs those extra capabilities.
