From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I have discovered that the terminal appears to interpret ^J as ^M. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start vi 2. type 'i' to insert text 3. type Ctrl V 4. type Ctrl J 5. Observe ^M This does not happen with other versions of gnome-terminal Actual Results: I saw ^M instead of ^J Expected Results: I expected to see ^J instead of ^M. This comes into play when using pico to edit documents. ^J justifies a skewed paragraph. Imagine my amazement when it only inserted a newline. Additional info: My keyboard set is standard US, I don't have any special languages or fonts installed. This is pretty much a run-of-the-mill null installation.
What you're seeing is bug 72639, I think; I've changed the summary of that bug to hopefully make it easier to find. Interestingly enough, with vte-0.8.19, I'm seeing ^@ show up in vi at step 5. I'm guessing that's a vim bug or feature (I don't even know which), as I don't have this bug/feature in bash, this bug/feature also shows up at a text (non-X) console, and ^J still works fine in pine and pico.
