So, yeah, sounds like the expected behaviour, closing.
well, If I type this command :
dialog --title "Choose file" --inputbox "Please input file name:" 8 40 $F 2>/tmp/ans
After it ran, there is no way to edit it again after "up" arrow pressing.
I consider it not normal, but -well, you are the chief :) You decide how you wish it works. xterm is very useful and the greatest tool ever for X11.
All the best;
Kind regards
Cheers,
Julien

Subject: xterm: command with error, cannot be repeated with up arrow
Package: xterm
Version: 261-1
Severity: important
Hello,
I do this
# exec irpsion5 -s reboots.log
No IRDA device found
it gives an error.
I wanna repeat it, so I press "Up" on keyboard to get this failed command again into prompt, and It is the previous one, not the :
exec irpsion5 -s reboots.log
it is reproducible with all failed comamnds. and this was a given example.
In stable, it works nicely those failed command and pressing up arrow on keyboard can show the bash history failed or not :(
best regards
