--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 231-1 Severity: important When xterm is switched to UTF-8 mode it is possible to enter UTF-8 characters in bash. However, if an UTF-8 character entered, you can press the backspace two times and it will delete the prompt also. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start xterm: "xterm -en UTF-8" 2. If you check "VT Fonts" menu (Ctrl+right mouse button) the UTF-8 item is set (See the attached 01_started_with_-en_UTF-8.png) 3. Set the keymap to US keyboard: "setxkbmap en_US" 4. Enter the some characters: "jkl;'" (See the attached 02_some_en-US_characters_entered.png) 5. Press the backspace 5 times: the characters are deleted. 6. Press the backspace 2 more times: nothing is deleted. (See the attached 03_the_en-US_characters_deleted.png) 7. Set the keyboard to Hungarian: "setxkbmap hu" 8. Press the same buttons as before, this time the characters: "jkléá" are shown. (See the attached 04_some_hu_characters_entered.png) 9. Press the backspace 5 times: the characters are deleted. 10. Press the backspace 2 more times: two extra characters are deleted from the prompt. (See the attached 05_the_hu_characters_AND_the_promt_deleted.png) Expected behavior: no more characters can be deleted than was entered. My locale settings are: xterm: backspace deletes twice much of characters for each UTF-8 character $ locale LANG=hu_HU LANGUAGE=hu_HU:hu:en_GB:en LC_CTYPE="hu_HU" LC_NUMERIC="hu_HU" LC_TIME="hu_HU" LC_COLLATE="hu_HU" LC_MONETARY="hu_HU" LC_MESSAGES="hu_HU" LC_PAPER="hu_HU" LC_NAME="hu_HU" LC_ADDRESS="hu_HU" LC_TELEPHONE="hu_HU" LC_MEASUREMENT="hu_HU" LC_IDENTIFICATION="hu_HU" LC_ALL= My bash version is: ii bash 3.1dfsg-8 The GNU Bourne Again SHell -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=hu_HU, LC_CTYPE=hu_HU (charmap=ISO-8859-2) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.6+20071215-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.0.1-2 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 1:7.1.ds.3-1 X Window System utility programs -- no debconf information<<inline: 01_started_with_-en_UTF-8.png>>
