Hi, I've been using screen for as long as I can remember, but
something changed with a fedora upgrade (perhaps going back to
fedora30?) that's broken my ability to use the mouse to cut-and-paste
from a terminal in a remote ssh session. Now line breaks are
considered to be the last character on the line, not necessary where
the actual line ends.
For example, piping /var/log/maillog into "less" then trying to copy
and paste a line of text that extends beyond the end of the right
column and onto another line results in the following:
Dec 6 00:08:40 cipher dovecot[3795454]: imap-login: Login:
user=<38071>, method=PLAIN, rip=47.44.184.3, lip=209.216.11.60,
mpid=3870132, TLS, session=<fp/os8S1X8ovLLgD>
dovecot prints this as a single line, but since it spans multiple
lines in my terminal, the copy/paste process apparently treats it as
separate lines inserts a line break at the end of the line in the
terminal.
This is using GNOME Terminal 3.38.1. Is this somehow related to the
terminal type I'm using? Or something in screen by default?
Below is my ~/.screenrc
$ cat .screenrc|grep -Ev '^$|^#'
defscrollback 1000
deflogin on
autodetach off
startup_message off
shell bash
activity "active: %n (%t) [%w:%s]"
bell "bell: %n (%t) [%w:%s]^G"
vbell off
nonblock on
msgwait 2

defhstatus "screen ^E (^Et) | $USER@^EH"
caption always "%{=b dw}%{=b dw}[ %{-b dc}%h%{=b dw} ] [ %= %?%{-b

dc}%+Lw%? %{=b dk}%{=b dw}][%{-b dw} %1`%{=b dw} ]"
My terminal type:
$ echo $TERM
screen.xterm-256color
This is from the ncurses-base-6.2-3.20200222.fc33.noarch package.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
