I know this thread is old, I would just like to point out that your solution worked _only_ if I make that change in my user's ~/.screenrc Adding the "* character" after "xterm" in /etc/screenrc had no effect for me (I am on Arch Linux if that matters). And actually things look a tad different here; I copied the two lines below from /etc/screenrc to my ~/.screenrc (added the "* character"): termcap xterm* 'is=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;4;6l' terminfo xterm* 'is=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;4;6l' Weird though, I would have thought the global change you recommended in /etc/screenrc would affect all users, I guess it may depend on the distro one is using? But other than that, your solution worked perfectly. On a related note, here is a link describing another way of resolving this annoyance; note it doesn't involve /etc/screenrc or ~/.screenrc, so it may be a more 'universal' solution, given the fact that it would not be dependent on the terminal (or termcap / terminfo): http://aperiodic.net/screen/appearance#screen_resizing_despite_-a_when_using_putty_on_windows_iterm2_on_mac_os_x -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/putty%2Bssh%2Bscreen-%3D-auto-resizing--tp1032108p33156016.html Sent from the Gnu - Screen mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ screen-users mailing list screen-users@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/screen-users
