Package: screen
Version: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-5
Severity: important


I often use the following screen layout:

    ~% screen -X layout dump
    ~% cat layout-dump
    split -v
    focus
    split
    focus
    focus

In ASCII diagram form:
    ___ ___
   |   |   |
   |   |---|
   |___|___|

In screen 4.0.3, when my focus was in the top right quadrant, executing "focus
up" would move the focus to the pane on the left, but in screen 4.1.0, this no
longer works as expected and the foucs simply remains in the top right quadrant.

The documentation still reads below in both versions of screen:

    This is done in a cyclic way  so  that the  top  region is selected after
    the bottom one. If no subcommand is given it defaults to `down'. `up'
    cycles in the opposite order [...]

So this is an unexpected (and personally undesirable) change in behavior.
