Hi,
using arrow to recall a ligne seems to be broken under
rh8.0/gnome-terminal. I cant go back trought history line or just move
cursor left. Do you have experienced the problem ?

I've just made some little investigation using strace:

under rh 7.3, when i hit the left arrow key, i've got:
read(0, "\33", 1) = 1
read(0, "[", 1) = 1
read(0, "D", 1) = 1

but under 8.0, its:
read(0, "\33", 1) = 1
read(0, "O", 1) = 1
read(0, "D", 1) = 1

so "[" became "0". something is mapped by gnome-terminal, who is
confusing idl. I've try to disable KeyBinding and default profile,
without succes.

Other applications seems to work well ( tcsh, matlab, perldl, octave etc...)

thanks for help

: though).

Are you using RH 8? Gnome-terminals do not have Settings menu
anymore (and changing this in Edit->current profile does not have any
effect). In RH 7.3 I did not have any problems although I used just
default settings in gnome-terminal (except Finnish keyboard
settings). Anyway, I am happy with rxvt, I put it on the panel (in
default settings of RH 8, the panel does not include terminal at all!,
RedHat is starting to look too much like windoze).
