Re: The screen saga - problem solved

["Todd C. Miller" <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>]

Because OpenBSD ships with a buggy old version of ncurses.
I recently upgraded the curses in OpenBSD so this is not an
issue if you don't mind running current sources.  Of course,
there's no reason you can't just update the following:
    /usr/src/lib/{libcurses,libpanel,libmenu,libform}
At least, no reason that comes to minds ;-)
