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.
