Product: xterm
Component: xterm
Summary: backspace key does not work properly
Version: 177-1mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think I first experienced this with 9.0. It also happens with 9.1 and cooker.
(I don't think it happened with 8.x but I'm not sure. I could test with Mandrake
8.x if it would help to fix this.)
This manifests itself in many ways under different circumstances. One test: Try
doing this:
cat > /dev/null
test(backspace)(backspace)(backspace)(backspace)this
(control-d)
Expected output: this
Actual output : test^H^H^H^Hthis
This does *not* happen with gnome-terminal, konsole, or rxvt (so I guess those
could be used as workarounds), nor does it happen at a text console. FWIW, it
does not happen with xterm on Red Hat, Debian, or Gentoo either.
