As part of my startup script to set up my desktop, I initialize a screen with several windows. I do this by starting a daemon and sending it -X screen and -X stuff commands, finally reattaching with -r.
Unfortunately, the "create daemon and reattach" method makes all the windows I created turn backspace into a "kill whole line" action. If I create new windows within screen with C-c c, the new windows do not have this behavior. Is this a screen bug, or can I do something special to fix this behavior? I'm using xfce4 and ubuntu 12.10 if that matters
Repro with the following:
screen -S -dm
screen -r
Type several characters and press backspace.
