Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal
Hello
When connecting to a OpenVMS box that expects the terminal to be a dec
vt terminal, the display is garbaged on gnome-terminal. On Konsole and
xterm, the display is fine. Maybe this is because gnome-terminal does
not implement some rarely used escape sequences of the dec vt 100
family. This bug is easily reproductible.
How to reproduce the bug :
1 - ssh to dahmer.vistech.net, a non-profit that gives free OpenVMS
accounts
2- login as user demo
3- display terminal settings
SHOW TERM
on the prompt
4- you can change it with something like
SET TERM/DEV=VT100
5- enter NOTES ( full screen BBS system ) and see the garbarged display.
exit from notes is with Control-Z
Regards
Manu
