Describe the bug

After running a GNU screen session, the terminal stops behaving as expected, keeping the command line at the bottom of the screen and grouping the command and its output.

To reproduce

  1. Open a Warp terminal
  2. Create a gnu screen session (e.g: screen -dR test)
  3. See the terminal misbehaving

Expected behavior

Keep grouping the command and its output as before.

Screenshots

Before running gnu screen:

The output of the command is way down below, but not at the bottom.

Additional context

GNU Screen is a tmux like application that has been around about forever, and in my case I use it to keep my processes running in a remote desktop even if I get disconnected from the machine. It doesn't block from using, but it is really annoyng that the outputs get thrown to the middle of the screen.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Any update on this? This bug makes it hard to use warp for remote gnu screen sessions, since it loses track of individual commands.

I use GNU screen sessions 100% of the time i'm SSHed onto a remote box...and warp's lack of support is a bit of a dealbreaker for me. It would be so awesome if this got addressed!
