Yes, it is when getLine is waiting for input. Everything is fine in the
prompt.
I didn't know that getLine behaves like that. I surely missed something.
Trully sorry for, at the end, a so dumb question !
I'll follow your advices and try haskeline or readline :-)
Anyway, many thanks for your so quick reply.
Best regards,
Gabriel

Hello to everybody,
I'm currently working with Haskell via the ghc interpreter (version 6.10.4
on Ubuntu 9.10).
The problem, if it is really a problem and not a normal comportement,
happens when I try, as example, to enter some characters after having
execute getLine. Actually, if I make a mistake when typing the string, I
can't use neither backspace, delete or even arrow keys to correct it before
hitting enter to finish input. In fact, as example, if I hit backspace, I
get "^?" in place of deleting the previous character ... :^(
As I wrote above, I don't know if it is a "bug" or not. Maybe it is normal.
Can someone help me ?
I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that you can't use
backspace/arrows/etc when the getLine command itself is waiting for
input? But otherwise at the "Prelude>" prompt, where you type in the
commands, everything behaves fine?
If so, that is normal behavior for the getLine function. For a better
input interface I'd recommend either the haskeline or readline
packages, both available from hackage.haskell.org.
Best,
