Whenever screen gives a message (e.g. "This IS Window 0 (bash)."), instead of it appearing at the bottom of the terminal and going away appropriately, the window's title is changed to the message, and it stays there until another message from screen replaces it. This problem does not happen using RXVT. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an XTerm 2. Start a new screen session inside the XTerm: $ screen 3. Press C-a and then 0 Actual Results: The title bar of the XTerm window changes to "This IS window 0 (bash)." Expected Results: The message "This IS window 0 (bash)." should appear at the bottom of the XTerm, highlighted.
This is a feature, not a bug -- please look into ~/.screenrc if you want to change this behavior
