reassign 679850 xterm
thank you

The submitter also mentioned top. I have just reproduced the behavior
with xterm 276-2 (but not with urxvt, running top (and not wine):

$ cat
^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[D

$ top
$ cat
^[OA^[OB^[OC^[OD
ABCD

I don't even claim to know how terminal interaction works, but it is
clear that wine is not at fault here, so I am giving the bug to xterm.

Cheers,
