Description Riccardo Del Monte 2012-05-10 14:32:51 UTC
When you press any accented letter (à,è,ì,ò,ù), and than hold backspace, konsole does not stop deleting the characters until the prompt, but continues deleting the times you pressed the accented characters.
For example, if you type ' hellò bàby! ' on the shell, when trying to delete all this characters holding backspace, you will also delete the last two characters of the prompt, because you've typed two accented letters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type a text with accented letters
2. Hold backspace until it stops deleting characters
Actual Results:  
konsole delete also the characters of the prompt.

Expected Results:  
konsole should not delete the characters of the prompt, in fact it should stop as when you type a text without accented letters.

I use encoding set UTF-8

Thanks for reporting.

However, I can't reproduce the reported problem. So you need to provide more information about your enviroment and make double check:

  * What is the shell, and what is the exact way you setup the shell prompt, like $PS1 in bash?
  * How do you input those accented characters? input method, compose key, or directly from keyboard?
  * Does it happen in a newly created user account?
