Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-13
Severity: normal
Often when I paste text from a web browser or PDF document into my
terminal, and the terminal is running an 'emacs' process, the
clipboard text contains special characters which are interpreted as
control-key or meta-key commands by emacs. For instance, a bullet
character from xpdf turns into M-b, "backward-word". Obviously, this
messes up the pasted text. This happens even when I set the
eightBitInput resource to 'false'. I'm not exactly sure if the problem
is with emacs or xterm but I suspect that since I've set eightBitInput
to 'false', xterm shouldn't be pasting 8-bit characters as-is.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "moreinfo" for years
without answer. If you still encounter this problem, please feel free
to re-open it.
Also it only happened with emacs21, not emacs 22, and current version is
emacs23.
