> It seems that there needs to be some straightening out of the Xterm spec.
> Someone (I didn't go look to see who) made a #if define around an area and seems

> Looking at the source for vte-0.16.13/src/keymap.c:1440 and below, there is a
> #if 1 define. The #if'd statement has a comment that states "Stuff a "1", a
> semicolon and the modifier in right before that last character, matching Xterm."
> while the old code that actually matches Xterm states "Stuff the modifier in
> right before that last character, matching what people expect." After removing
> the #if 1 defined code, leaving the old code, and recompiling the RPM everything
> works normally and according to the xterm spec.

> If anyone has a source for the reason behind this change I'd love to see it, as

> upstream to begin with).
Please forward this upstream to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ product vte.
Thanks
