Hey I just upgraded to 9.04 and I can confirm that the bug is still
here.
First, screen does come built in with 256 color support,
[code]
--enable-pam \
--with-pty-mode=0620 \
--with-pty-group=${TTYGROUP} \
--enable-rxvt_osc \
--with-sys-screenrc=/etc/screenrc \
--enable-colors256
# Assert the use of fifos instead of sockets
grep -q "define.*NAMEDPIPE.*1" config.h || echo "#define NAMEDPIPE 1"
>> config.h
touch $@
[/code]
I followed the instruction from
http://www.jukie.net/~bart/blog/20060824224842.
Turns out that there is still no support for 256 colors in screen..
Note that I have added
<---------cut here--------->
# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color
defbce "on"
<---------cut here--------->
into my screenrc
I am on 9.04
