This actually happens with all combining characters, not just the dagesh. For example, if in terminal you enter a letter "s" followed by U+0300 (COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT) and U+0327 (COMBINING CEDILLA), you see these three chars in a row, like this: s`ΒΈ . If you now press Enter, you'll see a 'command not found' statement. Now if you just press backspace ONCE, the view become like this: s` , and if you press Enter now, bash doesn't complain. Furthermore, you cannot erase these two characters. However, to make things just more funny, if you start continuously pressing up and down arrows (previous/next cmd), you'll see the number of s` peers growing by one after each press of the arrow down button. However, no matter how many of them are displayed, pressing Enter is just as effective as pressing it with a blank command.
It seems to me like bash now actually knows what a combining character is, and upon pressing backspace erases all combining characters and the one they are combined with, however, gnome-terminal doesn't expect that. -- Entering and removing combining characters messes up terminal display 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
