------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-06 14:52 ------- Created an attachment (id=435) --> (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=435&action=view) one possible fix (inspired by Debian) Mandrake 9.x/cooker seems to enable "Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)" by default, whereas Debian and Red Hat disable it by default. They seem to do it in different ways, though. AFAICT this patch essentially does it the Debian way, and the next patch I will attach essentially does it the Red Hat way. I've tested both patches. (FWIW, Gentoo seems to do something different. It enables "Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)" by default yet does not seem to have this bug.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: 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.
