Bug Description
In Ubuntu 13.10 backspace in terminal only deletes one byte of multibyte character.
For example:
# cat > /tmp/test
tы<backspace>t
# cat /tmp/test
t�t
# hexdump -C /tmp/test
74 d1 74 0a
Where 'ы' is a russian letter (D18B in hexadecimal form). You may see that only second byte of multibyte character was deleted by backspace.
I saw similar problem for ssh, but it's not the case. Here I'm not using ssh, just normal Terminal session.
affects: | nautilus (Ubuntu) → terminal (Ubuntu) |
