Package: xterm
Version: 312-1
Severity: normal

Whether I run

  xterm -xrm "*VT100.backarrowKey: true"

or

  xterm -xrm "*VT100.backarrowKey: false"

the backarrow key gives the delete (127) character, while the xterm
man page says:

    backarrowKey (class BackarrowKey)
        Specifies whether the backarrow key transmits a backspace (8)
        or  delete  (127)  character.  This corresponds to the DECBKM
        control sequence.  A “true” value specifies  backspace.   The
        default  is  “True”.   Pressing  the control key toggles this
        behavior.

This is actually the observed behavior only when backarrowKeyIsErase
is set to false:

  xterm -xrm "*backarrowKeyIsErase: false" -xrm ...

I think that when backarrowKeyIsErase is set to true (the default),
this is the expected behavior, as described under backarrowKeyIsErase,
and that the man page description of backarrowKey is incorrect.

So, I suppose that the default value of backarrowKey is "true" if
backarrowKeyIsErase is false; otherwise it depends...

But the relation between backarrowKeyIsErase, ptyInitialErase,
ttyModes and backarrowKey is still unclear.
