Package: libcurses-ui-perl
Version: 0.9605-1.6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
In a similar vein to #556846, there is an extraneous function call that breaks
input when keys are buffered. The call to flushkeys() from feedkey() simply
throws keys away for no discernable reason.
Again, I'm raising this bug as I'd like to implement the patch in Debian, but
would welcome input from other members of the Debian Perl team. I will raise
the issue upstream as well.
