Summary: Malfunctioning editor during boot. Project: GNU GRUB Submitted by: gorkypl Submitted on: Sat 24 Mar 2012 01:42:48 PM GMT Category: User Interface Severity: Major Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Software Error Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: Release: Bazaar - trunk Reproducibility: Every Time Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Details: The built-in editor seems to be malfuctioning. Precisely: - pressing 'del' key resulted in deleting 7 chars - the border of the edit menu screen on the right side looks broken (text goes past the border) - GRUB seems to discard the changes made in the editor and boots with the previous options Steps to reproduce: - I boot to grub2 - I set the cursor on the desired line - I press 'e' to enter edit mode - I move down to the relevant line - in my case it is 'linux vmlinuz-old root=/dev/sda5 ro' - I set the cursor on the '-' between 'vmlinuz' and 'old' - I press DEL - 7 (!) chars are deleted - I recreate the missing part of the line, which now looks like: 'linux vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro' - I press F10 (or Ctrl-X, result is the same) to boot - booted kernel is still vmlinuz-old (!) I am using sys-boot/grub-2.00_beta2-r1 in Gentoo, which is based on svn trunk version of GRUB.
