Sometimes some of my key inputs inexplicably stop working from within screen. These include number keys, -, ., some ctrl-keys eg ctrl-c (note that ctrl-a works). I have not tested exhaustively. These inputs all work correctly from a shell on the same host *not* using screen, and all fail to work on any of my screen sessions on the same host. After 5 minutes or so the key inputs start working again.
I launch my screen sessions using `SCREEN -q -x -R`.
