           Summary: Deleting Arabic text in terminals in response to an
                    interactive command using BACKSPACE will delete the
                    question itself!
           Product: xterm
           Version: 179-1mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: i18n
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When you type any interactive command in the console (e.g. rm), you will be faced with 
 
a question such as: 
 
rm: remove regular file `filename'?  
 
Now, if you switch to Arabic and type some Arabic letters then BACKSPACE to delete  
them, you will delete letters from the question itself which is equal to the number of 
the  
typed Arabic letters. Looks as if something concerned with Arabic being double byte 
and  
the UTF-8 encoding. This problem is in konsole, xterm, mlterm.
