** Description changed: Binary package hint: ncurses-base I SSH from my MacOS X machine to my Ubuntu machine. This works fine, until I run the screen utility, and the delete key no longer works. This is resolved in Debian bug #319554. For all the gory details, please see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=319554 Would you kindly merge their changes at your earliest convenience? I don't think it matters, but I'm using Intrepid server. + + =================== + + This bug also affects Emacs in tty mode. I notice it with Emacs 23.0.60, when I start it + with "emacs -nw" inside a gnome-terminal window with TERM set to xterm-color. + + The backspace key on my terminal is set up to generate ASCII code 127, but because + the xterm-color terminfo description incorrectly says that the delete function key + generates 127 instead of \E[3~, Emacs remaps code 127 to key sequence deletechar. + Hence, when I hit my backspace key, Emacs gets 127, translates it to deletechar, and + deleted one character to the *right* instead of to the left. Very annoying! + + Please change the kdch1 terminfo property of xterm-color so that it matches that of + xterm. Right now they are different: + + $ infocmp -T xterm | grep kdch1 + kdch1=\E[3~, kend=\EOF, kent=\EOM, kf1=\EOP, kf10=\E[21~, + + $ infocmp -T xterm-color | grep kdch1 + kcub1=\EOD, kcud1=\EOB, kcuf1=\EOC, kcuu1=\EOA, kdch1=\177,
