Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06, xterm

xterm -version
XTerm(267)

---
attached are screenshots:

"screenshot.jpeg" is screen sesson in xterm using encoding and defencoding as "ISO-8859-8". The letter "peh" and "shin" seem to work (only used "peh" for screenshot, will explain below), most of all other letters look scrambled (either diamonds with '?' inside or just gibberish)

"screenshot1.jpeg" is regular xterm session (no screen). All of the letters appear fine

"screenshot2.jpeg" is same screen session from screenshot.jpeg. I tried typing random letters, and the rest is seen in the jpeg. Note that the same thing happens if "peh" or "shin", or any other letter displayed properly in screen, is typed more than ~3 times

"screenshot3.jpeg" is also same screen session. I typed "shin" and another letter more than once. "Shin" is displayed correctly, the rest are displayed as diamonds with '?' inside

Any info will be sent on request

Thanks in advance
