So tmux has been giving me a lot of problems recently. Whenever you scroll past what is on the screen, copy mode will exit on you and send you back. So annoying. After reading about it on some forums they had said it was fixed in the newer versions (1.7 + ), but the EPEL repo for centos only supports it up to 1.5. To fix this, compiled from source baby.

yoloswag~# tar xfvz tmux-1.8.tar.gz
yoloswag~# tar xfvz libevent-2.0.21-stable
yoloswag~# cd ~/libevent-2.0.21-stable
yoloswag~# ./configure
yoloswag~# sudo make
yoloswag~# sudo make install
yoloswag~# sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib64/libevent-2.0.so.5
yoloswag~# cd ../tmux-1.8/
yoloswag~# ./configure
yoloswag~# sudo make
yoloswag~# sudo make install
yoloswag~# sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/tmux /usr/bin/tmux

That's it kiddies.
