--- Begin Message ---Package: xterm Version: 210-2 Severity: normal Hi, I observed two strange effects with German Umlauts: 1. I can type in Umlauts and they are printed nicely, but if I press backspace to remove the Umlaut I have to press it twice to remove it completely. Imagine that I tested typing three Umlauts in the beginning of the shell prompt and want to delete these I have to press six times backspace and the cursor moves right into the prompt. 2. It is the first time at all that I'm able to verify bug #316953 which has the advantage that I can investigate into this problem, but this does not really reduce my frustration. There is no difference between xterm and uxterm (= xterm -u8). When I use gnome-terminal everything is fine. I did not change my environment variable setting compared to an older version of xterm when it worked fine. I have also another box that does not show this strange effect. I'm willing to provide any further information that might be necessary to track down the problem, but I have no idea what might be helpful. Kind regards and thanks for maintaining xterm Andreas. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (499, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: lang=de...@euro, lc_ctype=de...@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de...@euro) Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1.1 generic font configuration library ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libx11-6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxaw7 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Athena widget set library ii libxext6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-5.1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous util ii libxt6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii xlibs-data 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client data Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System utility programs -- debconf information: xterm/clobber_xresource_file: true xterm/xterm_needs_devpts:

I'm working perfectly fine with xterm since a long time. So yes, I think this bug can be closed ... and I'm just doing so. Thanks for checking this Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de Klarmachen zum Ändern!
