[Bug 1274795] Re: no way out of scrollback mode

Have you tried exiting with pressing Escape? Pressing Enter (copying an
empty string) twice also still works fine for me.

About ; and , specificly: These two now have a function in copy mode and
hence no more exit copy-mode. From the man-page:

         ; and , Repeat the last f/F/t/T command in the same/opposite
direction.

So it's still the case that characters not serving a particular function
exit scrollback mode as expected and documented:

         All keys not described here exit copy mode.

Hence closing as invalid.

This is probably also the reason why resizing the window exits copy
mode: The terminal probably sends some ANSI sequences to screen.

** Changed in: screen (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
