PentiumIII 1GHz
FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT

[X]  Run time (non-fatal logic bug)

This works as expected, assuming a connection to an IRC server with the
nickname Sheldon:

    /SET STATUS_FORMAT (%F) 
    /WINDOW LEVEL MSG
    /WINDOW NEW
    /WINDOW LEVEL PUBLIC
    /MSG Sheldon testing 123

Note that the expected activity indicator shows activity in Window 1.

However, when using WINDOW CREATE in the screen(1) environment, the %F
expando isn't expanded:

    /SET STATUS_FORMAT (%F) 
    /WINDOW LEVEL MSG
    /WINDOW CREATE
/* Use screen(1) metakey to switch to new window
    /WINDOW LEVEL PUBLIC
    /MSG Sheldon testing 123

Although trickery with bells and screen(1) can be used to affect some
kind of visual cue, it's less than ideal.

Is this a limitation of the screen(1) environment, or is it a bug in
epic4-1.0.1 that might be fixable?

Ciao,
Sheldon.
