Description of problem: When I type in some chars and delete them with backspace everything is fine. The same done with german umlauts (e.g. üöä) causes that backspace can delete chars behind the leftmost: the promt can be deleted also. So for every umlaut TWO chars can be deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: * German-latin1 keyboard is loaded * bash is the login shell * error happens on text console or ssh connection Steps to Reproduce: 1) go to a text console (_no_ console within X!) 2) enter "loadkeys de-latin1-nodeadkeys" 3) type _one_ German umlaut (ä, ö, ü or Ã) 4) press <backspace> two times Actual results: The cursor enters a position which is not allowed. Its position is within the prompt. Expected results: After the second press of <backspace> the cursor must not go further to the left. Additional info: * When entering an umlaut-key on the user login, the character is not shown correctly; two special characters are shown instead of one umlaut
