Bug ID: 36704 Summary: wine cmd uses overwrite mode instead of insert mode Product: Wine Version: 1.7.19 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: cmd Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: aerilius@googlemail.com
When you start 'wine cmd' from gnome-terminal, it launches the wine command interpreter embedded in gnome-terminal. When you use the arrow keys to modify a command that you just typed, it is set to overwrite (replace characters) instead of inserting inbetween. However, gnome-terminal uses insert mode and that is what the user was using just moments before.
I believe Windows 7 also uses insert mode (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff758104.aspx) and if there is not a good reason against it, it would make sense to have it as default in wine, or better to inherit such a setting from the shell/desktop environment.
