Description of problem: In the textual interface of 'initial-setup', the backspace key is somewhere interpreted as a character. I know that this isn't a big issue. I set the severity to 'low', because this is not a "high-priority" bug, but fixing it might improve the overall usability of this software. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initial-setup-0.3.35-1.fc23.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 23 as a qemu-kvm guest, without creating an user with Anaconda. 2. Boot the freshly installed system. 3. Proceed with initial-setup (text). 4. In the "User creation" section, type "4" and then try to correct the input via backspace key. Actual results: 1. Backspace is interpreted as a character and not as backspace. Expected results: 1. Backspace key should act as backspace and remove the previously typed characters. Additional info: I'm testing with qemu-kvm.

Martin, could you please try to reproduce this? I think the key is the installation in some non-English language and then booting into such system. Could be a systemd or dracut bug because it seems like the console is not correctly set up for us.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
