Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Open a gnome-terminal instance using en_US.UTF-8 encoding. Enter U+05D1 (you can do this by holding CTRL-SHIFT and typing the code), a Hebrew letter bet. Hit backspace; it will disappear. Now enter U+05D1 U+05BC (Hebrew letter bet with combining dagesh). The characters will not combine correctly; there will appear to be a bet followed by a center- dot. Hit backspace; the center-dot will vanish. Hit backspace again; the bet will not vanish. Hitting enter reveals that the prompt was empty; the character displayed was not actually entered. Each combining dagesh appears to advance the cursor by one space which cannot be backed up past, even though the shell appears to be unable to see the stuck character. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers dapper-updates APT policy: (500, 'dapper-updates'), (500, 'dapper-security'), (500, 'dapper') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-28-386 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages gnome-terminal depends on: ii gnome-control-center 1:2.14.2-0ubuntu1 utilities to configure the GNOME d ii gnome-terminal-data 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 Data files for the GNOME terminal ii libatk1.0-0 1.11.4-0ubuntu1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.14.0-0ubuntu2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libc6 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgconf2-4 2.14.0-1ubuntu2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.5.1-2ubuntu2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-0ubuntu1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.14.1-0ubuntu2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.14.2-0ubuntu1 GNOME virtual file-system (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-0ubuntu1.1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii liblaunchpad-integrat 0.1.3 library for launchpad integration ii liborbit2 1:2.14.0-0ubuntu1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-0ubuntu3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libstartup-notificati 0.8-1ubuntu1 library for program launch feedbac ii libvte4 1:0.12.2-0ubuntu1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-0ubuntu9.1 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-0ubuntu2 X Rendering Extension client libra ii scrollkeeper 0.3.14-11ubuntu6 A free electronic cataloging syste Versions of packages gnome-terminal recommends: ii yelp 2.14.3-0ubuntu1 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Entering dagesh creates unremovable characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/139457 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
