The issue has been resolved so I won't impede it much by being a
proponent of the <Ctl-a>+<esc> (or in my case `<esc>).  I always use
screens scrollback because it has the vi keybindings! (I think it
might have emacs one's also, or you can set them...but who would want
to do that ;-) ).  Also you can search for a particular word with the
vi syntax.  "`<esc>?word" is always faster than just a scroll :-).

Just my thoughts.  OH and how can you live without using the
alternative screen buffer?
Either way you are using screen so that makes you cool in my eyes.
