Description
Please describe the problem: When using screen pressing backspace does not work. Ctrl-? can be used instead.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run vte.
- start screen
- write something and try to use backspace
Actual results: Backspace does not work. So - nothing.
Expected results: That it would erase last keys like backspace always do.
Does this happen every time? Yes.
Other information: If you look here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=34718&p=1 (search for "backspace" keyword)
all applications using libvte has this problem. But there is a patch there that helped. I don't know if that one-liner is a hack or proper solution but I hope something similar can be done in vte code so it does work properly with screen too.
