--- Begin Message ---Package: joe Version: 2.8-16 Severity: normal Hi, apparently the screen process needs to be running for some time before the bug manifests itself; what happens is that the cursor is sometimes, seemingly at random, placed at column 1-8; a couple of characters I type appear there, and then, as I continue typing, everything returns to normal (except that most tabs appear to be displayed as a simple space and those few characters stay at the beginning of the line until I hit ctrl-r). The problem seems to be independent of the terminal the screen itself runs on (I tried linux, xterm, vt320, securecrt emulating vt220). joe is the only program that seems to exhibit the bug; other editors work fine.

Great. I'm closing it. It was five years and nine months old, although it could have been closed just a month into its existence... *sigh* > I'll have to report some more lest you forget my name. :) No way :) -- 2.
