Bug#179286: xterm: alt-return has a strange effect
Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: minor
Tags: sid
When typing alt+return the cursor goes up one line (causing other
text to scroll downwards when it reaches the top of the window).
The most boring fact is that the terminal keeps an abnormal
behavior when scrolling in the history with the up key: as soon as
it tries to show the command line with these codes, the text layout
gets broken as the cursor writes to already written areas.
"history | less" shows a <8D> for each occurrence of the combination.
