Issue #23 returns

[markjreed]

The "Slurped X characters into buffer" is back. I don't see anything in the code to set msgwait to 0, as mentioned in #23. Regression? It's painful to use without setting that parameter, but I don't want it in my screenrc because I usually want time to actually see the messages when using it interactively...

Hi @markjreed

Following the trail, it certainly seems like we lost track of the initial problem

• 10d24f04003c606f8559039ca71ec881849af3d8 removed msgwait with colon
• ca062f4c19a89ab402c5ffa390c7f13f8994f828 removed colon logic, because I didn't see it happen when testing locally

Please open a PR with the fix — and a comment for how/when it happens — and it would be my pleasure to merge it.

Alternatively, if you can explain how recreate the problem, I can take care of it.
