vim + screen + urxvt: keypresses are sent to screen when starting vim

Hello everyone,

Whenever I open vim from screen running on top of rxvt-unicode (from community), some keypresses are sent to screen. This prompts screen to ask to set the window's title. It also changes the first character of the file I opened with vim to g and gives ":0000/0000/0000" to vim afterward.

I tried removing all vim plugins, removing .vim and .vimrc. That didn't help. If I run "vim -u NONE file" it works. If I run vim from urxvt (without screen) or xterm or xterm+screen it works too.

I also tried running screen like "TERM=rxvt-unicode screen" or "TERM=rxvt-256color screen" or setting term in .screenrc. None of that worked either.

Do you guys know what could be the cause of the issue?

Thanks
