You can also try to put this in your .screenrc:

etenv TERM screen shell -$SHELL
shell -bash
activity "Activity in %t(%n)"

attrcolor b ".I"    # allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'   # tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
defbce on    # use current bg color for erased chars
terminfo xterm* ti=:te=
term screen

Does your script send some of the screen's paste commands?

You can use "layout" and "resize" for this. Some good tips here:

> 4. When I close a full-region command, say vim or top, even with ‘altscreen on’, the prompt jumps to the bottom of the terminal (though altscreen is serving its purpose of clearing the screen above the prompt). Is thee a way the prompt stays back at the place from which the command started? I remember I did not see this problem on some older version of screen on a friend’s system.

Ref. to the termcap setting above.

A new GNU screen forum at reddit would be nice. :)
