Hi Ivan, The feature of setting iutf8 was implemented in gnome-terminal 10 years ago and I've been happily using it ever since. There might be a bug of course, it would be nice to investigate further why it's not set for you. (At this moment I have no idea how it could be wrong for you.)
Your app is not the right place for such a workaround. There are thousands of utilities similar to yours (e.g. just type "cat" and you'll see the same problem with backspace), and dozens of ways a terminal can be configured incorrectly, it's not feasible for every utility to try to fix every possible broken setting. Any app running in a terminal should assume that the terminal is set up properly. If you can't figure out what's wrong with your gnome-terminal, I recommend to place something like if [ -t 0 -a "$(locale charmap)" = "UTF-8" ]; then stty iutf8; fi in your .bashrc as a workaround, then you're done with this for all the applications, and don't pollute your utility with something that really doesn't belong there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1360419 Title: Buffer containing russian Unicode charecters is not cleaning after pressing Backspace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1360419/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
