No, sorry, not. It was a series of big patches heavily modifying the behavior. They're clearly not suitable to be backported to a stable distro. There's no self-contained tiny fix available for this problem. And since it's fixed in mainstream gnome-terminal, I have absolutely no interest in putting any effort into this.
You've just reported this bug towards trusty (1.5 years old) and precise (3.5 years old). I can't remember anyone ever reporting the same issue before, so it's apparently not an important one. There are way more important vte issues in Ubuntu's bugtracker with one- line fixes that noone cares backporting. It's fixed in Wily, and Xenial LTS is out in less than half a year. Fixed packages for trusty are probably available from Gnome3 staging. Or you can use any other emulator as a workaruond for the time being. And, anyways, iso2022 is a terrible encoding, and everybody should've switched to UTF-8 a long time ago. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1514288 Title: Japanese Character Encoding Bug Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After I set the character encoding as to Japanese(ISO-2022-JP), and then input "Enter", The bash prompt is shown doubled.
