No. xterm properly "back spaces". koi8rxterm also works properly. The problem is related to konsole.
Note that konsole uses TERM=xterm-256color by default, while xterm uses TERM=xterm. According to some mails on the opensuse-factory mailing list, the current problems seem to be reproducible in xterm too by setting TERM=xterm-256color.
If konsole claims to be XTerm compatible and it is not then this is a bug of konsole and not from ncurses nor XTerm^[1]. There exists an TERMINFO entry konsole-256color ... beside this I do not see how konsole uses ncurses at all shell> ldd /usr/bin/konsole | grep -E 'lib(ncurses|tinfo|panel|form)' shell> ldd /usr/bin/xterm | grep -E 'lib(ncurses|tinfo|panel|form)' libtinfo.so.6 => /lib64/libtinfo.so.6 (0x00007f65f3f9e000) don't know if konsole tries to read features from TERMINFO entries but if and as the API and the format of the terminfo entries are changed with latest ncurses I'd like to recomment to use at least libtinfo.so.6.1 as otherwise things will not work. [1]Otherwise it would be never possible to develop new features for XTerm supported by the TERMINFO entry xterm or xterm-256color -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
