Package: evilvte Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: normal [ X-Debbugs-Cc set to upstream Wen-Yen Chuang <[email protected]> since this is probably not a debian specific bug. I was unable to find an usptream bug tracking system. ]
Steps to reproduce: 1) evilvte 2) screen 3) strace -o strace.out bash 4) type X 5) hit backspace Expected results: 5) X is removed from screen Actual results: 5) nothing visible happens More info: 1) strace.out shows that bash receives \0 instead of any of the typical backspace characters: read(0, "X"..., 1) = 1 write(2, "X"..., 1) = 1 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 read(0, "\0"..., 1) = 1 2) If I do not use screen then bash receives its backspace just fine: read(0, "X"..., 1) = 1 write(2, "X"..., 1) = 1 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, [], 8) = 0 read(0, "\177"..., 1) = 1 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, ~[RTMIN RT_1], [], 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, [], NULL, 8) = 0 write(2, "\10 \10"..., 3) = 3 3) This happens also with upstream 'evilvte-0.4.4.tar.gz (6 Mar 2009)' -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1 (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages evilvte depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.18.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ evilvte recommends no packages. evilvte suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
