I am seeing this same issue on Jaunty as well. TERM=screen screen does
not resolve the issue. How do I remap the backspace key in screen to

Just hit the same problem in intrepid: terminal set not to use ^H for
backspace, for OS X compatibility, and reconnecting to a screen session
resulted in backspace not working.
TERM=screen screen is a workable workaround for me.

TERM=screen screen is _never_ good advice (unless you're running screen
-m directly inside of a screen session). Also, if TERM=screen screen
fixes your problem, then your problem had nothing to do with this bug,
which is specifically that some terminals send ^@ screen, rather than
the usual ^? or

Morten, is this the same Wuff, Wuff problem, which shows ^@ chars
inside cat?
If so, the way to fix this is to turn off any autodetection settings
for what backspace should send, and explicitly specify the code it
should send (probably, ^?). You could also download the latest sources
for screen
I've been trying to figure out the screen/backspace problem tonight.
I ssh'ed into two different Linux boxes from my Mac, an Intrepid and a
Lenny system. With screen_4.0.3-11 on both machines, it only worked
correctly on the Lenny system. The /etc/screenrc file was identical on
the two machines.
Sounds like just the vte patch needs sponsored, so closing the screen
task. Feel free to reopen if something else needs investigated there
(or maybe better to file a new bug).

I've dropped all the bindkey statements from my .screenrc, as they were
causing other troubles when using other applications (e.g. vim), as
predicted.
I'm now using an alias via .bashrc, so now all 'screen' is translated to
'screen -T $TERM'. This plays a lot nicer, and seems to produce the
Also worth noting, this bug has been around for a while - why haven't I

That link is not the same issue; it has to do with the terminfo and stty

fix the problem (they agree with each other in upstream screen AFAICT;

That's a different problem, if it's the first line that's working for
you.
A much better solution is to keep the backspace as ^?, and make sure
stty erase ^? is set for the terminal (or that the terminal is
otherwise set to send ^?). It makes a much better choice than ^H, which
confuses some
I found a workaround per a comment above. I'm using gnome-terminal, and
on some systems I use, 'screen' produces a beep/bell when I hit
'backspace'.
in ~/.screenrc:
bindkey -d ^? stuff ^H
bindkey -d ^@ stuff ^H
It now behaves as expected.

Just because it's a config issue, does not mean it's not a bug. The bug
(as explained in the original description) is that changing it away from
autodetect is required.
Tracked down the source of the problem: vte will send whatever the
terminal's erase character is, even when it's undefined (that
