Greetings,
I am not sure if this is a bug in screen or something else, but
screen seems to be a package I can take out of the equation and the
problem goes away. Here is my issue, at the commandline, my virtual
terminal prints odd diamond shaped characters to the screen when hitting
tab or backspace ^? and ^t cause this same odd behavior. I always run
screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) and is the default Debian package of screen
distributed with Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04.1 LTS but I had this problem
after I upgraded to Hardy (via a clean install from CD) even when running
the latest version of screen I compiled myself. I am unsure if screen is
the actual problem or if it is just a clue into the actual problem, since
this behavior is not exhibited except for when running screen. This
problem is also intermittent, but occurs 90% of the time. I can run a
session for not long at all before it starts exhibiting this aberrant
behavior. Has anyone else run into this or have any ideas about what
might be going on here? I have tried to search for this on the web but
had no luck hunting down other incidents of it on any forums.
One more odd thing to note, sometimes I use yasr (text to speech
software) and it has the ability to announce the ASCII value for any
character, but what displays as an odd diamond shape, just shows up as
whatever character it should be, eg. tab if it was a tab pressed.
