This really sounds strange, so the client is updating received data
to its display, but it 'does not really know' that it got the connection
back and so does not send?

You can check, whether your 'screen' still is accepting input, by
accessing the same 'screen-window' from another session by
connecting to it via "screen -S ...name... -x"
(you find the ...name... by "screen -ls").

I work from home, via laptop, and at work, with the same screen on
the same window in the same program/session. And mosh makes it possible
to 'loose and reconnect the net' but retain all the connections.
I think I might have had a situation as the above, but could not
find out, what was happening (I was riding a car and used a slow
lossy link, so I assumed that to be lost).
