Public bug reported:
gnome-terminal seems not to recognise the C1 control characters.
The particular character that is a problem for me is CSI. However there
may be a generic issue with non-support of this whole range of
characters.
This range of characters should only be recognised when the encoding is
a character set that is defined to include the C1 control characters
but, at a quick look, that is all of the ISO-8859-x character sets and
Unicode. (C1 control characters require encoding as a 2 byte sequence
when the encoding is UTF-8. As unlikely as this may be to occur in
practice, UTF-8 is not inconsistent with C1 control characters.)
Part of the motivation for raising this bug report is that PuTTY seems
to have declined in reliability recently and so I looked at why I am
using PuTTY as opposed to gnome-terminal. Correct support of C1 control
characters is one reason. This works in PuTTY. It does not appear to
work in gnome-terminal. Perhaps resources would be better spent making
gnome-terminal work as well as PuTTY does, rather than attempting to get
PuTTY fixed.
