Bug Description
I am using screen via ssh to work with remote server running ubuntu 12.04.
When I enter in root shell via sudo su - some programs like mc or aptitude that using pseudographics are almost unusable (see screenshots).
Steps to reproduce:
1. ssh to remote server
2. start screen session (just type screen)
3. run root shell (sudo su -)
4. start midnight commander (mc)
This works fine (no screen running):
1. ssh to remote server
2. run root shell (sudo su -)
3. start midnight commander (mc)
It is the 12.04 regression. Without screen all programs works fine. Also when I work with server running ubuntu 10.04 all works as expected.

I have found workaround for this bug.
When I start mc by:
env LANG=en_US mc
all works fine.
But:
env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 mc
shows me garbage.
So, the problem seems to be somwhere in UTF-8...
