Package: screen
Version: 4.0.2-2.backports.org.1
Severity: normal

Note: I have also seen this bug with the standard woody version of the
package, 3.9.11-5woody1. I upgraded to the latest backport from
backports.org to see if this fixed it but exactly the same bug occurs.

With 'defmonitor on' in my ~/.screenrc, the C-a M keystroke produces the
message 'Window n (blah) is no longer being monitored for activity' (and
this matches up with the subsequent behaviour - the window is not
monitored and no messages ever appear whilst other windows are
selected). However, if I press the keystroke again, the same message
appears and the window is still not monitored, contrary to the manpage
which says the C-a M keystroke toggles the state. The only way to
monitor the window now is to type ':monitor on'.

With 'defmonitor on' commented out in ~/.screenrc, this bug does not
occur - the monitor state starts out as off and the keystroke toggles it
correctly.

I'm not sure if this bug affects other toggled options.

Thanks,
Andrew.
