Package: zsh
Version: 4.2.4-2
Severity: important

Hi,

I am not absolutely shure if the source of problem is zsh
but since it is reproducable on several terminals and the
problem doesn't exist with bash, I decided to tell you
about it.

I type e.g. 'gvim .trosmo' and use the Arrow keys to move
back to the beginning of the string and then hit the
'End'-key to jump at the end of the line it results
in: 'GVIM .TRosmo'. And the Backspace key doesn't work
anymore. It just moves the curser one to the left without
removing a character.

Numbers remain numbers. 
Some examples:

'11eee111'    becomes '11EEE111'
'abcdefghijk' becomes 'ABCDEFGHijk'
'abCDefghijk' becomes 'ABcdEFGHijk'

Independent from that the 'Insert'-key makes lower-case
characters to upper-case and vice versa.

This is reproducable in aterm and also in Eterm, in xterm
only the 'Insert'-key is does the upper/lowercase thing.

On Linux vitrual terminal 'End' workes as expected but
'Insert' produces a tilde.

Term settings are:
aterm   TERM=rxvt
Eterm   TERM=Eterm
xterm   TERM=xterm
vt              TERM=linux

Since I use End and Home really a lot, it makes working
with zsh quite hard for me.

Please tell me if you need more information or wether it is
a problem of a different program or even my own.


Thank you.
Benjamin Peter
