Bug#483545: xterm: Copy&Paste ### with iso8859-2

2008-05-29 Thread Miroslaw Kwasniak
Package: xterm
Version: 235-1
Severity: normal

Hi, copy&paste of polish characters sometimes replaces them with #.

It happens randomly (and seldom) at bash prompt but can be easy
provoked by this recipe:

1) write in bash: echo "ąćęłńóśźż"
2) mark it with mouse
3) start an editor in this xterm (tested with: vim, joe, mcedit)
4) paste and you get #ó###

If you scroll xterm back and mark again then paste works.

This bug doesn't happen if an editor is invoked in another xterm -
precisely it occurs seldom as at bash promt.

The keepSelection resource can help for this case.  (There's also a
menu item setting the same resource).
