Public bug reported: When pressed, the delete key inputs the Unicode 007F character instead of deleting the following character. In most cases, this is difficult to see, but in a terminal, the 007F is clearly visible.
The xev output for the key press is following: KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x5df, subw 0x0, time 81101326, (1403,948), root:(1453,1062), state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001, root 0x5df, subw 0x0, time 81101443, (1403,948), root:(1453,1062), state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XFilterEvent returns: False This is a new fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04, I don't remember the delete key working at any point since the installation.
