[Bug 429607] [NEW] cssh messes up copy-paste, inserts wrong characters

[Imre Gergely]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: clusterssh

I'm using clusterssh (3.24-1) on Jaunty to give commands to a bunch of
other linux servers. I noticed that when copy-pasting certain
characters, some of the characters don't get through correctly, like
this:

`1234567890-=~!@#$%^&*()_+
becomes
`123456789`/=~$@#$%^&*()?+

Notice how the minus sign ( - ) becomes a slash ( / ), the zero (0)
becomes backtick ( ` ) and so on.

This happens only when I paste it in the CSSH window, when I paste it
directly in one of the open xterm windows, it appears OK. It doesn't
seem to matter what distribution I log into (Fedora, Redhat, Ubuntu).

** Affects: clusterssh (Ubuntu)
