problem still persists with upstream xterm 239. It can be workarounded by 'xterm -kt vt220'. 'xterm -kt tcap' produces the erronous behavior since 238; this option worked fine with 237. It does not seem to be an 64 bit issue (remotely executed xterm on an i386 machine shows same behavior). I can see bad behavior only with 'vim'; cursor movement in 'bash', 'mc', 'nano' is fine. vim uses the tcap-query feature, which is compiled-in by default since #238. I got a report dealing with colors, which ultimately was fixed by user's configuration. I'm not sure how it would break cursor keys, but suspect this is the place to look. On my machine - I have only a minimal .vimrc - it seems to work as expected. If that's where the problem lies, the feature can be disabled via X resource setting (man xterm): allowTcapOps (class AllowTcapOps) Specifies whether control sequences that query the terminal's notion of its function-key strings, as termcap or terminfo capabilities should be allowed. The default is ``true.'' I'd like to know the particular issue if this is the case. But first let's isolate it. setting 'XTerm*allowTcapOps: false' fixes the issue xterm-242-2.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xterm-242-2.fc10 xterm-242-2.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xterm-242-2.fc9 xterm-242-2.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 testing repository.
