LANG=de_DE elinks
I am able to reproduce it with RHEL-5 konsole, but not with RHEL-5 xterm or gnome-terminal. It also works fine with RHEL-6 konsole. As a workaround, you can use the "Keine Rahmen" option in Einstellungen -> Terminaleinstellungen: echo set terminal.xterm.type = 0 >> ~/.elinks/elinks.conf This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug. Thank you for submitting this request for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. We've carefully evaluated the request, but are unable to include it in RHEL5 stream. If the issue is critical for your business, please provide additional business justification through the appropriate support channels (https://access.redhat.com/site/support). |
