d-i: Alt+Bksp in text field shouldn't quit to menu
Hi
I just booted from the full Sarge Beta 3 netinst CD and found the keys
doing something different than I expected. I wasn't sure where to
report it, so I'm sending it to the list...
In the configure network phase, the Ethernet card was successfully
configured with a leased IP address from the DHCP server, then I was
asked to enter a hostname which defaulted to "debian". When I pressed
Alternate+Backspace, rather than it deleting the previous word as Emacs
and Readline-based programs such as Bash would, I was dropped back to
the main install menu.
It's understandable if text fields don't fully support Emacs-like key
bindings, but ideally they shouldn't exit a screen.
