From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040220 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: http://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter3.html#CUP We have an application on another unix that sends something like: ESC [ 10 H instead of ESC [ 10 ; 0 H or: ESC [ 10 ; H (spaces add for clarity) That is, it's assuming that when the second parameter is 0 (start of line), it can leave it out entirely, including the semicolon. xterm, konsole, the linux terminal and other programs agree that "ESC [ Pn H" is the same as "ESC [ Pn ; H". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.2.2-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gnome-terminal 2. cat sample.problem.txt (attached) Actual Results: Roughly: foo barbaz Expected Results: foo bar baz that is, I expect it to look the same as if step one was "run xterm" Additional info: I will attach my sample.problem.txt file as well as a screenshot of the incorrect output and the correct output.
