alt-button doesn't work

[Matti Koskimies]

I've been using Terminator for a long time on Debian sid and now suddenly after some updates the alt-button stopped working.
Terminator version: 0.95, Python version: 2.7.2+

All alt+XY keybindings (alt+number, alt+arrow keys, alt+backspace) seems to have stopped working with a very recent upgrade. Only alt+page up/down still works, but these two I have assigned within terminator.

irssi is barely usable.

Indeed, even on Fedora 16 (Verne), all Alt+[key] has stopped working, it's annoying not to be able to use irssi in it.

Terminator

The issue on Fedora is more an issue with libvte than with Terminator itself. It is discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=626792, a patch is already available.

Marking Invalid as it sounds like it has been fixed downstream.
