--- Begin Message ---Package: putty Version: 0.62-8 Severity: normal In a recent upgrade of putty, application keypad mode keys <PF2>, <PF3> and <PF4> stop working. They generate the symbols for "normal" mode instead: /, * and - respectively. Example use case: When I press NumLock Keypad-*, which should generate the <PF1><PF3> sequence, ("find" in TPU with EDT key mappings on OpenVMS,) putty generates <PF1>* instead, which TPU complains is an invalid sequence. Similarly, <PF1><PF2> and <PF1><PF4> generate <PF1>/ and <PF1>- respectively instead of the appropriate application keypad sequences ("help" and "delete line" in my editor). Many other applications on VMS make use of the <PF2> through <PF4> keys. When I downgrade from 0.62-8 to 0.62-6, the original behaviour is restored, i.e. <PF2>, <PF3> and <PF4> escape sequences are correctly emitted when these keys are pressed. I would test on 0.62-7 as well, except I don't have a copy of it handy. I tried various "function keys and keypad" settings. The <PF2> through <PF4> keys no longer work in any of them. Previously, they worked using at least Xterm R6, VT400 and ESC[n~ settings (didn't test all of them ... I only need *one* of them to work, as VMS is flexible about which one you use). This looks like a small regression in 0.62-8. I hope it is not hard to fix and a freeze exception can be made, as I use putty extensively with VMS systems where these key mappings are important. It was a long and hard search to find a terminal emulator supporting everything needed to work in this environment. In the end, PuTTY ended up as my only candidate, supplanting xterm (which I previously used with elaborate X resource hacks to make all keys function correctly, but one day failed to meet all of my needs for reasons that are now obscured by poor memorty, as putty has worked so much better for me for such a long time now). Granted, VMS users are a dying breed, but it would be sad if Wheezy released without this support. In short: help save the dinosaurs***, please fix this for Wheezy. :) Thanks, Ben *** OpenVMS has been my bread and butter since 1985. It helps pay the bills while I work on Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages putty depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-34 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-6 ii libfreetype6 2.4.9-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii putty-tools 0.62-8 putty recommends no packages.
