[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#408370: xfce4-terminal: Delete key problem

[Guo Yixuan]

Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.2.5.6rc1-2
Severity: important

In xfce4-terminal, there's something wrong with the
Delete key.

When I set Delete "Auto-detect" or "Escape sequence" in
Preference dialog box, pressing Delete key makes a "~".

While in "ASCII DEL" or "Control-H" mode, Delete key deletes
the character before to the left of the cursor.

Here is a summary of the symptom:

program/mode	"Auto-detect"	"ASCII DEL"	"Escape sequence"	"Control-H"
	bash	"~"	B	"~"	B
	nano	N	N	N	B
	vim	N	B	N	N
	"emacs -nw"	NH	B	NH	(emacs prompts some help)


There's also some problem with the Backspace key

program/mode	"Auto-detect"	"ASCII DEL"	"Escape sequence"	"Control-H"
	bash	N	N	"~"	N
	nano	D	D	D	N
	vim	N	N	D	D
	"emacs -nw"	N	N	NH	(emacs prompts some help)

N for Normal,
B for acting as Backspace,
D for acting as Delete,
NH for nothing happens
"~" for print a "~".


Here is my ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc file:
