Bug#434619: gnome-terminal: up and down arrow stopped working in shells

[Lionel Elie Mamane]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.18.1-1
Severity: normal

I just rebooted/upgraded and since then, the up and down arrow keys
from the arrow key cluster (not the numeric keypad) don't work in
shells (bash, tcsh, zsh) in a gnome-terminal anymore. They work in
aptitude and mutt in a gnome-terminal and they work in a shell in
xterm.

The keys C-p and C-n still work as replacement for the arrow keys. The
left and right arrow keys still work. The up/down arrow keys of the
numeric keypad still work fine, the ones in the inverted T between the
letters and the numeric keypad don't.

The keys have the following effect in a shell in a gnome-terminal: The
up key inserts ";A" and the down key inserts ";B". Expected effect:
navigate the command history.

xev shows keycodes 98/104 and keysyms 0xff52/0xff54 for these keys.
