Public bug reported:
When pressed, the delete key inputs the Unicode 007F character instead
of deleting the following character. In most cases, this is difficult to
see, but in a terminal, the 007F is clearly visible.
The xev output for the key press is following:
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x5df, subw 0x0, time 81101326, (1403,948), root:(1453,1062),
state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) ""
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x5df, subw 0x0, time 81101443, (1403,948), root:(1453,1062),
state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False
This is a new fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, I don't remember the delete key
working at any point since the installation.
