Er, this report should refer to the `TERM` variable.

Title:
  Messages do not scroll correctly when XTERM=xterm-256color

Status in irssi package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In an irssi window in the stock gnome-terminal. I expect that when
  messages reach the bottom of the window, previous messages scroll up
  the screen to make room for the new messages.

  If I export XTERM=xterm-256color before launching irssi, then fill a
  window with messages, when subsequent commands are typed they occupy
  the final line of the screen, but none of the preceding lines scroll
  upward. Further messages cause only the final line to be updated and
  the screen stops scrolling.

  Description:    Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:        15.04

  irssi:
    Installed: 0.8.17-1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 0.8.17-1ubuntu1
