Displayed cursor and text does not match the input sent to the interpreter

[Eero Aaltonen]

Using left arrow and backspace results in problems in java ipython terminal.
The cursor position and the displayed text become different from what the interpreter actually processes

Interpreter started with
$ jython -Dpython.console=org.python.core.JLineConsole ipython.py

Test case A:
1. Input the string
print("hello world")

2. press up-arrow, left-arrow
The displayed position of the cursor does not change

3. Press ! and Enter

In [3]: print("hello world")!)
------------------------------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     print("hello world"!)
                        ^
SyntaxError: mismatched character ')' expecting '='

Test case B:
1. Press p
2. Press backspace

p is still displayed, cursor does not move.

Changing package to jython because this affects all jython console choices.
