From: joe_banta AT perceptics DOT com (Joseph Banta) Subject: Bash eats characters from standard input 25 Apr 1998 00:12:10 -0700 Message-ID: <01BD6F94.6276D5C0.cygnus.gnu-win32@HERBY> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" Has anyone ever encountered the problem that bash eats/ignores certain characters from standard input? I have a couple of co- workers who, when running bash compiled under beta 18 or 19, cannot type any of the characters on the next line: ' " ` ~ When I say bash eats/ignores the characters, I mean the user can hit the key, but nothing appears on the console window. If you exit from bash into dos, the characters show up, so this tells me that bash is getting the characters but not echoing them to standard out. Also you can run some other program (e.g., 'cat') within bash, and it will accept the characters. Anybody have a diagnosis for this?
