From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i586) This bug is similar to the one reported in Bug#10389 with fewer components required to induce the error. I do not have Screen installed, yet from both the Konsole and xterm terminal emulators, in a Vim session, pressing the backspace key presents a literal "^?" to the screen. This does not occur when using the kvt emulator or using a terminal outside of X, and unlike bug 10389 where this occurred for only an su to root, it occurs for all users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run vim from Konsole or Xterm 2.press backspace key (the character '^?' is output to the file) 3.does not occur in kvt or non-X terminal, does occur for every system user Actual Results: ^?
This was actually due to a default setting in these emulators setting the backspace to key to issue a delete "^?" sequence...not a bug.
