Re: [screen-devel] [bug #42178] byobu >= 5.77 crashes screen server process on pressing Ctrl-A c

[Jürgen Weigert]

What actually is the purpose of these commands?

To me that looks like an intentional busy-loop.

(which should not necessarily cause casualities, of course...)

cheers, JW

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #42178 (project screen):

Seems to be caused by ~/.config/byobu/keybindings,
still haven't tracked what exactly is wrong with it, but it seems to boil down
to those lines:

escape "^Aa"
register x "^A"
bindkey "^A" eval "process x"

executing them in standalone screen session breaks it

seems like last one was changed recently
https://github.com/dustinkirkland/byobu/commit/afd1e2f62b9547eae5deea962f014f85c400414f
and changing it back fixes it

looking at it I suspect that screen goes into loop trying to echo "^A" and
then processing it

It still needs checking, but following above theory escape key should probably
be made unbindable so people can't break it.
