From a vi session it seems that a '^@' or NUL is being sent instead of ^H or ^?. Workaround is to configure the XFCE Terminal to explicitly sent ^H or ^?, but Auto Detect should really do the "right thing" within screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vte-0.17.4-1.fc10.i386 How reproducible: So far, always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start XFCE 2. Open an XFCE Terminal 3. Start screen (enter 'screen') 4. Type some text then try backspacing. Actual results: No backspace occurs. Expected results: Backspacing! Additional info: I'm not sure if this is VTE's fault (bugs from other distro's led me to believe it was), XFCE Terminal's or screen's My TERM is set to xterm in XFCE Terminal before starting up screen. I have tried with vt100, tried starting screen with TERM=screen screen, and various .vimrc and .Xresources tricks to no avail. I notice that if I ssh from the machine to somewhere else and start screen on the remote server, backspace works fine. Odd? I have been able to reproduce this on multiple Fedora 10 installs with virgin configs. I tried older versions of screen (back to the one included in RHEL5).

Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vte/+bug/29787/comments/42 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2009-12-18T09:00:53+00:00 Bug wrote: Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
