Bug#300123: xterm: alt-. gives wrong signal to zsh
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: important
Upgrading to xterm 4.3.0 caused the (often used) alt-. to send the wrong signal
to zsh (4.0.4 and later) in viins mode. Alt-. is used in zsh to insert the
last argument of the previous cmd line.
The behaviour is as expected in emacs-mode. More importantly it is as expected
in viins mode in any other shell or the console. Downgrading to 4.0.4 `fixed'
the problem.
Also the colors reverted from 16 to 8 with this upgrade. I have since
downgraded.
