Description Fred New 2002-07-17 05:59:18 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)

Description of problem:
I don't know if this bug's "component" was correctly chosen.  This problem 
occurs in both the Gnome terminal and on the character console, so I chose a 
common denominator - bash:

When I type two non-English letters, such as 2 o-umlauts, then backspace twice, 
the first of the two letters still remains.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a Gnome terminal or log into a character console.
2. echo "<o-umlaut><u-umlaut><Backspace><Backspace>aa"
	

Actual Results:  <o-umlaut>aa

Expected Results:  aa

Additional info:

I installed Limbo with a English-US and Estonian languages, English-US is the 
default.  An Estonian keyboard is also installed.

That's an bash/readline issue. Already fixed in the latest packages

Comment 2 Fred New 2002-07-24 09:01:43 UTC

Yep.  I can confirm that this works correctly with bash-2.05a-16 recently 
installed from the Red Hat Network.
