I'm not sure if this is just something peculiar to my configuration, but
in the text console for bacula, if I type a command then backspace over
it then press enter, bacula still acts as if I typed the command, or at
least part of it.

Does anyone else see this or is it just me?

I get wildly varying results with line editing in bconsole between
different systems. On some systems, I can edit the command on the
screen as expected, with backspace erasing characters from the end as
usual, but when I finally type enter what gets sent as command is
obviously not what I last saw on the screen. On others, hitting
backspace once skips to a new line as if it had deleted the entire
command, so line editing is guesswork at best, and never seems to
result in what I intended. Bconsole itself doesn't really help in
identifying the problem, since it never tells me what was the actual
command it thought I sent or what was specifically wrong with it.

On a single one of my systems, line editing actually works as expected,
but I don't know why.

All systems are running some version of Suse Linux. The one where line
editing works correctly has openSUSE 10.3 and Bacula version 2.0.3
which came with that. One of those which skip to a new line as soon as
I try any line editing at all has the same versions. Most others are
older Suse releases with self-compiled Baculas from the 2.2.x range.

Go figure.
