Bug Description

Binary package hint: xterm

Since upgrading to 10.10, typed characters in xterm come up mostly unreadable. Hasn't affected anything else that I've found. Text output by applications is perfectly readable, it's only entered text that's odd.

It's bad when you type it in. If you then switch focus to another window, and back to xterm, it's fine. But any subsequently-entered text is bad, again until the focus changes away and back again.

I'm not convinced this is a problem in xterm itself now, but I've no idea what it is in.
