Package: xterm
Version: 208-2
Severity: normal

Hi !

Since recent upgrade to xterm 208, alt-backspace, alt-f and other
combinations do not work any more. The first one should delete a whole
word before the cursor, the second one should jump at the end of the
next word. They work fine with Eterm. They work fine with an xterm
from stable used via X-forwarding.

Hi,

I'm closing this bug as a configuration issue.  Feel free to reopen if
you disagree.  Other bugs (#179286, #326200) exist asking for
eightBitInput to be set to false by default.

Cheers,
Julien
