           Summary: Deleting Arabic text in terminals in response to an
                    interactive command using BACKSPACE will delete the
                    question itself

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: munzirtaha newhorizons com sa

When you type any interactive command in the console (e.g. rm), you will be faced with  
a question such as: 
 
rm: remove regular file `filename'?  
 
Now, if you switch to Arabic and type some Arabic letters then BACKSPACE to delete  
them, you will delete letters from the question itself which is equal to the number of the  
typed Arabic letters. Looks as if something concerned with Arabic being double byte and  
the UTF-8 encoding.
