Public bug reported: I am using screen via ssh to work with remote server running ubuntu 12.04.
When I enter in root shell via sudo su - some programs like mc or aptitude that using pseudographics are almost unusable (see screenshots). Steps to reproduce: 1. ssh to remote server 2. start screen session (just type screen) 3. run root shell (sudo su -) 4. start midnight commander (mc) This works fine (no screen running): 1. ssh to remote server 2. run root shell (sudo su -) 3. start midnight commander (mc) It is the 12.04 regression. Without screen all programs works fine. Also when I work with server running ubuntu 10.04 all works as expected.
