"defbce on" is still necessary. Or rather, it has to be consistent:
- Either "defbce on" and TERM=screen-256color-bce
- Or set defbce off, and TERM=screen-256color
The principle is that defbce changes one thing in the behaviour of
the Screen virtual terminal. And apps running inside need a terminfo
entry describing it accuratly.
Note that in simple default case (outside of 256 colors), GNU Screen
is smart enough to autoexport TERM to "screen" or "screen-bce" depending
on this defbce setting.
My advice: All the real terminals you use are able to do BCE, right?
Then pick the full BCE enabled setup: Should work optimally.
Bye! Alain.
