Package: xfce4-terminal Version: 0.6.2-3 Severity: normal The DECRQM sequence (CSI ? ... $ p) is important for programs to be able to query the current settings of modes, either to be able to restore them after exit, or just to see what the settings are or probe for supported features.
A real xterm responds to this. xfce4-terminal, while claiming to be an xterm (by setting TERM=xterm) does not; instead leaving unprocessed CSI output directly on the screen. I would copy-paste it here but I can't, because the output contains -literal- Escape bytes and that would upset vim, and possibly your mail client ;) The effect can be observed by $ echo -e '\e[?25$p' A terminal supporting DECRQM should reply something like: ^[[?25;1$y (which, since bash/readline don't understand the response, will just be printed raw into your next prompt line) xfce4-terminal however, raw-prints the query bytes, including the literal U+001B of the leading Escape byte, turning it into the little square-box pango substitution character. (Also it could be argued as a second bug that valid but unrecognised CSI sequences really ought to be stripped from the stream and not displayed as raw bytes of text; doubly-so should not be displayed with literal Escape characters in the terminal text buffer). -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.9-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-terminal depends on: ii exo-utils 0.10.2-2 ii libatk1.0-0 2.8.0-2 ii libc6 2.17-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.28.2-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.36.3-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.20-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.32.5-5+b1 ii libvte9 1:0.28.2-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.0-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.10.0-3 ii libxfce4util6 4.10.1-1 Versions of packages xfce4-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.6.12-1 xfce4-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information--- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
