Bug#200857: xterm fails to honour dtterm sequence ESC[21t
Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-9
Severity: important
With the most recent update I performed to my laptop, xterm has ceased
responding in any way to the dtterm sequence
ESC [ 2 1 t
Which should cause xterm to respond on the pty with the OSI sequence for
the current xterm's title.
This causes various programs to lock-up unless you invoke them with TERM set
to something non xtermish. One such program is dbishell.
If xterm's functionality in this respect was disabled as it was in PuTTY's
terminal emulator, then could we please have some documentation on how to
re-enable it if we want to?
Regards,
Daniel.
