I wonder if it's due to the fact that I'm ssh-ing to other machines within each screen window? Sometimes I will do this if I have a dozen servers to work on at the same time, I have a little script that spawns a new ssh session to each box in separate windows. Here's a little tidbit that I just learned; you can send the same command to all windows at the same time: [CTRL-A] :at \# stuff "pwd; hostname; uptime^M" That will send the pwd, hostname, and uptime commands to all windows. YMMV.
