[Bug 1316059] [NEW] byobu (screen backend) hangs when hitting the escape sequence

[Toshio Ito]

Public bug reported:

I use fresh-installed Xubuntu 14.04 with Japanese language environment.

Versions
--------

- byobu: 5.77-0ubuntu1
- screen: 4.1.0~20120320gitdb59704-9

Procedure
---------

 $ byobu-select-backend  ## use screen
 $ byobu

- Then, hit ctrl-a
- In the menu, select 1.
- After returning from the menu, hit ctrl-a


Result
------

byobu won't respond anymore.
You need to close the terminal.


Note
----

- tmux backend is fine.
- The problem exists both with xfce4-terminal and xterm.
- The problem still exists when you change the escape sequence to, e.g., ctrl-z or ctrl-e.
- I did not have this problem in Xubuntu 12.04.


Workaround
----------

- Write ~/.byobu/keybindings manually.
