Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-7
Severity: minor
When one types '>' in the copy mode, this terminates the copy mode.
The screen(1) man page says concerning the copy mode:
> sets the (second) mark and writes the contents of the paste buffer
to the screen-exchange file (/tmp/screen-exchange per default) once
copy-mode is finished.
but "once copy-mode is finished" doesn't mean that copy mode has been
terminated by typing this key '>'. It should say instead:
> sets the (second) mark, writes the contents of the paste buffer
to the screen-exchange file (/tmp/screen-exchange per default)
and exits copy mode.

Hi Vincent,
your suggestion is not accurate either: you could also set the
first mark with '>', the second with ' ' and the exchange file
would still be written. I think the introductory sentence to
the copy mode paragraph is quite clear, so we don't have to make
this part unnecessary long just to be 100% specific.
Regards,
Jan
