Hi there again,
please, could just someone try out if the umlaut / backspace issue is
reproducible on another system.
Therefore use an empty command line on the console, enter 0252 with
ALT-pressed on the NUMPAD (NUMLOCK active). When you see the umlaut hit
backspace a few times and probably you can see that more chars are deleted
than were entered.
Thanks and greetings

Hello,
I have problems with german umlauts on my HLFS SVN 20080603. Independent from
the keymap I use, currently the defkeymap, after typing a umlaut in bash I
can hit backspace twice and the cursor goes one step to far to the left. This
happens for every umlaut I type e.g. 3 umlauts and 6 backspaces.
First I thought it could be a wrong setting for bash, as it is mostly when
backspace does not do what it is expected. But umlauts also mangle up my
login screen. After entering an umlaut hitting the backspace results in three
little squares with a question mark in it and the login screen is no longer
usable.
I´m working on console and backspace works properly when no umlauts were
entered.
For all non german keyboard users: Hit 0252 with ALT-pressed and active
NUMLOCK to receive a nice umlaut.
My HLFS is built strictly after the SVN-20080603 book.
Thank you in advance for a little help...
