Description Jeff Bastian 2013-05-21 17:04:57 UTC
Description of problem:
If installing Fedora 19 in text mode, hitting the backspace will delete the entire text of the prompt.

For example, if the screen shows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1) [!] Timezone settings          2) [!] Install Destination
        (Timezone is not set.)            (No disks selected)
 3) [!] Set root password          4) [!] Create user
        (Password is not set.)            (No user will be created)
  Please make your choice from above ['q' to quit | 'c' to continue]:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And you type '5' and then realize your mistake and hit backspace, you get:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 1) [!] Timezone settings          2) [!] Install Destination
        (Timezone is not set.)            (No disks selected)
 3) [!] Set root password          4) [!] Create user
        (Password is not set.)            (No user will be created)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
