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
