Package: roxterm
Version: 2.7.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

as of recently, entering a comma (',') in a roxterm window causes
roxterm to exit immediately. I have tried with various shells (csh,
bash, zsh) and other terminal emulators (xterm, gnome-term), and the
problem occurs only when using roxterm, regardless which shell I use,
and not on any other shell, also regardless of the shell in question.

How to repeat:

 * Open a roxterm. To test, I used this command:

   $ nohup strace -f -ttt -v   roxterm --disable-sm --separate -n 'bash' -e 
/bin/bash 2>&1&

   I can send you the very lengthy protocol (almost 34k lines) if you need it.

 * Enter a comma (',').


If you want, enter other characters and see how they do not cause
roxterm to exit, then press a comma. I verified with "xev" that the
comma key sends a comma symbol, nothing else, so I am confident that it
is really a comma and nothing else. I have also tried with and without
ibus running, but to no effect. It does not matter which program I have
running. I tried with mutt and vim, and in both cases, roxterm crashes.
If I start another program from a roxterm and enter a comma there, it
has the expected effect (usually just showing a comma).


It would be great if this problem could be fixed. I can't try the
version from unstable on this machine, but would gladly try a backport.


TIA!


Kind regards,
