Whatever has been claimed to have occurred, it didn't actually fix the crash, and I still periodically encounter it and have it eat my screen session on a new VM until i remember I have to build screen from source. > I'll now mark this as duplicate of > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/1333630 and > hence as "fixed in Ubuntu" (which is not the same as "fixed in the > current LTS release"). > If you really want to get this fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, please > follow the instructions in the guides listed above instead of opening > new duplicates for already existing bug reports. Thanks! I want it fixed in Ubuntu, not "just that one version of ubuntu". From what you're saying the only version of "Ubuntu" that is *actually* ubuntu is whatever the latest version is, the rest are just ignored?
