I'm not sure if this is an ssh bug, a pango bug, or a gnome-terminal bug. Sorry about that. I am using a German keyboard. When deleting an umlaut-character, the backspace key appears to work but a space is actually substituted. 1. ssh to Suse 9 box/debian 3 box 2. enter the characters "aaaöbbb" (umlaut o between aaa and bbb) 3. Press backspace until just "aaa" is visible. Type "bbb" 4. You now have "aaabbb", press enter 5. The error message I get is: -bash: aaa bbb: command not found i.e. what looks like a space appears between "aaa" and "bbb". Doesn't happen when I ssh to localhost. UFT8 handling bug?
Hi, The problem is that gnome-terminal is running under UTF-8 and your remote machines are running in non-UTF8 locales. In order for things to work well, you need to inform gnome-terminal what encoding the remote machine works on. You can do that from the "Set Character Encoding" submenu of the "Terminal" menu. You may find more information about this problem by visiting bug 75805 which is related. Thanks.
