Color-on-erase should only be expected when the terminal advertises support for "bce" (background color erase), which neither screen nor tmux can guarantee (since the host term must also support it). IIRC, screen _can_ support it, if the host terminal does. You have to explicitly set "bce" to on in your ~/.screenrc. In which case it is recommended that you set TERM to "screen-bce" within screen (to advertise that support). -- Micah J.
