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
