This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. If this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release, please open a new bug with the relevant information. Closing as CANTFIX. |
Description of Problem: I have evidence from two rather different circumstances that seems to indicate that konsole (sometimes) transmits extraneous characters to programs when the user types a dollar sign ($) followed by a hitting the "Enter" key. I see no such behavior from xterm. First scenario - I type a command like "cat !$" at the tcsh prompt (I believe I have seen this with bash too, but I don't use it much) in konsole and hit "Enter." Rather than executing the command as it should, the icon for this shell within konsole turns into a little bell and my computer beeps, as if I typed something it objected to. This only happens occasionally, maybe 5-20% of the time, but enough to be annoying as hell. Hitting "Enter" a second time results in the command being executed as expected. Second scenario - I ssh from my Red Hat 7.3 machine into my webserver over a dial-up connection. The webserver is running FreeBSD 4.3. I attempt to vi any file, type ":$" followed by "Enter" to move to the end of the file. Rather than putting my cursor at the end of the file as it should, it inserts a new line before the last line in the file, inserts an "M" on that line, and places my cursor after the "M" while in insert mode. i.e. it is as if instead of seeing ":$<CR>" it is seeing ":$<CR>OM". This happens almost 100% of the time, and is even more annoying than the first scenario. This does not happen with xterm, only with konsole. This did not happen with KDE 1.2, just KDE 3.0. Just to follow up on this a bit, I did "cat >test" then typed ":$<CR><CR><CTRL-D>" and then typed "od -c test" and here is what I get: 0000000 : $ 033 O M \n 0000006 Note the extraneous "033 O M". This little cat test only seems to show the problem if I type ":$<CR>" pretty quickly after entering "cat >test". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: highly (depending upon failure scenario) Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: Do bug reports like this ever make it into the hands of someone who can do something about them, or does someone at Red Hat just go "Oh, that's a KDE problem, not our fault" and send it into the bit bucket?
