backspace and left arrow actions don't display properly when used with rhino

[Patrick Goetz]

I've only experienced this problem trying to use rhino. Basically, hitting Backspace or Left Arrow jumps the cursor several characters to the left and the screen becomes unreadable. This was not a problem in Jaunty, the only other distro I've tested for this bug. It's definitely a problem with libjline-java (1.0-1), since if I remove libjline-java from the rhino JAVA_CLASSPATH the problem disappears.

I forgot to add that the problem is reproducable on several different Ubuntu Precise (12.04) amd64 machines -- every one that I tried.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
