Generally what seems to be happening (I can't reproduce this with a quick
test) is that at some point screen/luit/xterm is writing text and assuming
that it's skipping over blanks.  When you maximize xterm, it resizes it.
screen repaints things - xterm simply shifts the bitmap.  So I'm assuming
it's a problem with screen.  If I were able to reproduce this, I would run
screen within script, capture the resulting typescript file and see what
screen is actually sending.

I'm curious about the "ignored" for the locale.
Does this reflect a problem with reportbug,
or is the locale not properly installed?
