Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

In edgy, one can navigate the command line with control-arrow
(left/right) to jump over words. This is not possible in feisty's gnome-
terminal. Instead it prints a control character as in the following
example:

jos at duet-feisty ~ $ foo;5C;5D;5C;5D

As you can see, it prints a ;5C for ctrl-right and ;5D for ctrl-left.

This makes navigating a long command line cumbersome.

** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
