-bold isn't going to work when you're using the unicode font. 1-How does one know unicode is being used? 2-How does one not use unicode in bash if one wants? 3-Why does VGA=788 on the kernel line not result in the same problem? (bash 2.05b in Mandrake 9.2 doesn't do this, but I don't know how to discover the charset in use.) Use 'locale' to see the encoding in use. For root on tty[1-6], LC-TIME=en_DK, LE_ALL=, & the rest en_US.UTF-8. For ordinary user in konsole, LC_ALL= & the rest are en_US.UTF-8. The reported behavior is not present in FC1. |
How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.in /boot/grub/grub.conf, remove from kernel line any instance of vga= that may be present (reboot to place in effect if necessary) 2.in /root/.bashrc, put "setterm -foreground white -bold -background blue -blank 20 -store" 3.login root on tty[1-6] 4.type some characters 5.hit backspace key Actual results: 1-cursor moves left one character 2-line to right of cursor fills with capital "G" with a diacritical over it Expected results: 1-cursor moves left one character 2-last typed character is removed from display Additional info: 1-If I try to use mc or vi after the garbage characters first appear, all character positions on screen that should be blank turn to the garbage character. 2-This behavior is not new to severn. It is a reason why I wiped shrike off the machine & installed severn in the space vacated. I never used psyche, but vahalla and prior never did this.
