[screen-devel] [bug #63341] Copy mode (Ctrl-A ESC) blocks stdout

[Stephane Chazelas]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #63341 (project screen):

To me, it's not a bug and screen behaves as expected. When you enter copy
mode, you "pause" the output. screen stops reading the output of the slave and
focuses on you selecting what to copy out of what has been output up to that
point.

If it were to still read the slave's output while at the same time letting you
inspect and copy the earlier output it would potentially have to be able to
store indefinite amount of output.
