This is a feature, of course. :)  It's that you're running an application
inside of your terminal, auto adjusting to whatever size you make your
terminal window -- and not effecting the _terminal's_ scrollback buffer at
all.

Within screen, you can specify as large of a scrollback buffer as you may
like using the -h num switch when invoking (or maybe in your .screenrc) and
access it by using <shift>+<PageUp> and down, maybe in other ways too.
