I cannot reproduce this bug (neither Lenny nor sid/experimental, neither
with 'altscreen on' nor without). Is one of you still able to reproduce
this behaviour? Without a reliable testcase I'm afraid I can't do much.
It doesn't sound like a ncurses problem to me, the altscreen suggestion
seems more likely. What terminal emulators are you running screen in (resp.
have you been running when you encountered the bug)?


Regards,

Jan
