This causes everything to fail to properly scroll. Once a single screen worth of output is sent, everything just gets put on the last line. This obviously is not a good thing.

Matthew, thanks for reporting that.  So far I'm not able to reproduce it.
Normally I have TERM=xterm-256color outside of screen.  I reset it to
TERM=xterm and started a new instance of screen, and although I set the
hardstatus line, I can't find any problems with scrolling.

Does anyone else observe this problem?  What's the proposed solution?
Remove the two lines you cited above?

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-10/msg00369.html for another recent
screen scrolling issue that I couldn't reproduce.

> As a side note I think it would be a good idea to wrap all termcap|info lines with single quotes at least for consistency.

I also mostly don't have a clue what the escape sequences mean, although
I've looked up a few of them when I had to.  Mostly that's deep terminal
magic, and I don't mess with it, just pass on what comes from upstream or
I'm otherwise told is needed.

Andrew
