This bug report is more than nine years old.
I close it and suggest to try the new version of GNU screen.

I've looked a bit into it (in 4.0.3, 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 where it all behaves in same way to me).
I've even read manpage twice, but am still not entirely sure how it is supposed to behave, unless it's completely broken on my system :-(. Which may also explain why it's broken for you on 4.2.1 if you don't run autogen.sh (I've included ./configure in this release).

So, can you give me some reproducible list of steps?
Also could you try with ./autogen.sh in 4.2.1 and check if it fixes it?

Looking at commit list between 4.2.0 and 4.2.1 I don't really see anything that would've broken it.

In 4.2.1, turning flow control off via :flow, :defflow or ^A f doesn't work for me. ^S issues XOFF no matter what I do.

4.2.0 works as advertised.

$ ./autogen.sh # 4.2.0 only
$ ./configure --enable-pam
$ make
$ ./screen

$ lsb_release -a
