From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.7.8-1.3.1 Description of problem: this is a regression. in RHEL 3, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm contains this comment: ! Bug fix for bugzilla bug #49315 *VT100*eightBitInput: false this has been removed in RHEL 4. unfortunately, the named bug is inaccessible to non-employees. anyway, without this fix, meta keys (M-b and M-f to move a word backward and forward, for instance) doesn't work in Bash or other readline enhanced applications, which obviously is quite irritating. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xterm-192-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start XTerm with bash 2. type "foo" 3. type Meta-b Actual Results: I get the character LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH CIRCUMFLEX (bugzilla couldn't handle the raw character :-) Expected Results: the cursor should move to the beginning of the word "foo" Additional info:
