Package: xterm
Version: 4.2.1-8
Severity: normal

I am running an UXterm, where I run ssh from bash, and on the other 
machine I run tethereal (from bash too).

It was running like that yesterday and it was OK, I went to sleep, and 
today when I woke up, I foundout that that window does not accept any 
keyboard input.

More precisely: it does not pass any keyboard input to the running 
application. I cannot press <Ctrl>+<C>, any characters I press are not 
displayed on the screen. 

But I can scroll the window with <Shift>+<PgUp> <Shift>+<PgDn>. 

In my /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm I have:

*VT100*saveLines:       1024
*VT100*scrollTtyOutput: false
*VT100*scrollKey:       false

*VT100.Translations:       #override \n\
        Shift<Key>Delete:       clear-saved-lines() \n\
        Shift<Key>Up:           scroll-back(4,line) \n\
        Shift<Key>Down:         scroll-forw(4,line) \n

When I press <Shift>+<Del> it also works correctly, and <Shift>+<Up> 
<Shift>+<Dn> too.

This is not the first time this happened to me, but it does not happen 
often (probably about the 5-th time during the last ~3 months - very 
rough estimate).

I'm still running that UXterm with blocked keyboard input and 
tethereal, so if you have any things you might want me to test, please 
ask. Within a reasonable time of course, like 1 day, but I will try to 
keep that window running as long as I can just in case someone wants 
me to test something.

But in 3-4 days I'm going to travel and this is a notebook, so I'll 
need to power down it.
