[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#221290: Bug #221290 still here: screen garbled after entering high-ascii characters at login prompt

[Christian Perrier]

I was waiting for upstream resync to deal with this bug report but it
still seems to be here.

When entering high-ascii characters at the login prompt (usually by
mistake), such as "é", and then hitting Backspace to remove them,
they're not erased at the prompt...and, when entering the correct
login and validating, login switched the terminal to all-caps.

This happens in the Linux console. Nothing bad happens in a terminal,
eitheer UTF-8 or ISO....

Eugenyi, would you by chance have an advice about this ?

I'm not sure it completely belongs to login, however it certainly
needs investigation.

Tomasz, can you reproduce it on non Debian systems ?
