Package: xterm
Version: 278-4
Severity: normal

I configure xterm with X resources that include

	XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\
		<Key>BackSpace: string(0x08)

so normally the backspace key in xterm sends ^H.  However, from time to
time the behaviour mysteriously changes: the backspace key starts sending
^? instead.  I have not been able to determine what class of event causes
this; I see no reliable correlation with any particular activity, and have
no recipe to reproduce the problem.  It seems to change for all xterms
simultaneously.

I have found a way to change it back: empirically, toggling the
"Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)" item in any xterm's ctrl-left menu fixes it,
for *all* xterms.  Note, the final state of the BS/DEL menu item makes
no difference; toggling it normally has no effect, as the translation
takes precedence.  (I originally tried toggling BS/DEL in case there
was some interaction with the state of that option, but apparently the
state of the option is irrelevant, the fix just comes from something
triggered by the process of toggling it.)  The fix is only temporary:
it'll later change to ^? again, as mysteriously as the first time.
