Hi Vincent,
I retested this with clean chroots and your mutt/xterm reproduction
steps.
Tested versions:
- 4.1.0~20110819git450e8f3-1
- 4.2.0-1
- 5.0.1-2
Observed behaviour is consistent across all three:
- outer TERM=xterm : no trailing spaces
- outer TERM=xterm-256color: trailing spaces to full line
So this does not appear to be a regression introduced in screen 4.8.x or
5.x.
It looks like longstanding TERM-dependent behavior, which can appear as
a regression when environments default to xterm-256color.
Somewhere between buster and trixie, the default TERM seems to have
changed from xterm to xterm-256color; making this appear as a
regression.
The fix to resolve #578729 (upstream commit 98bf413) still exists in
screen 5.x.
Given the interplay between screen, xterm, terminfo and mutt, I can't
say which package the bug lies in.
Cheers,
Peter Dey
