Package: xterm
Version: 210-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I observed two strange effects with German Umlauts:
1. I can type in Umlauts and they are printed nicely, but
if I press backspace to remove the Umlaut I have to
press it twice to remove it completely. Imagine that
I tested typing three Umlauts in the beginning of the
shell prompt and want to delete these I have to press
six times backspace and the cursor moves right into the
prompt.
2. It is the first time at all that I'm able to verify
bug #316953 which has the advantage that I can investigate
into this problem, but this does not really reduce my
frustration.
There is no difference between xterm and uxterm (= xterm -u8).
When I use gnome-terminal everything is fine. I did not
change my environment variable setting compared to an older
version of xterm when it worked fine. I have also another
box that does not show this strange effect. I'm willing
to provide any further information that might be necessary
to track down the problem, but I have no idea what might be
helpful.
Kind regards and thanks for maintaining xterm
Andreas.

I'm working perfectly fine with xterm since a long time.
So yes, I think this bug can be closed ... and I'm just doing
so.
Thanks for checking this
Andreas.
