Public bug reported:
I have a symbol DS4208 Wired USB barcode scanner hooked up to a machine
running Ubuntu 14.04 via a USB connector. When using xterm and
attempting to scan a 1D or 2D barcode the xterm window will accept in a
couple characters from the USB scanner not in the correct order, and
then lockup. The number of characters accepted varies, and is never in
the correct order.
This also happens from any child process launched from the xterm window.
This issue is not present when I first sudo -s to obtain a root shell.
Scans will be interpreted properly and characters are entered into child
processes, or command line correctly depending on where the cursor is
situated.
This issue is not present in other terminal emulators such as
lxterminal.
