newer versions (since notty merge) breaks backspace and the terminal after jackline closes

[infinity0]

The backspace key doesn't work when I run jackline now in xfce4-terminal. It does work when I run jackline via the linux console (ctrl-alt-f1). However, in both cases the terminal is broken after I exit jackline - I can't see the things I type, and when I enter reset, I see the output Erase is � and then I can see my input get echoed again but the backspace key is still broken.

I couldn't identify the exact commit that caused this, but 7f6de65 is good, then the next several commits fail to build, then d907088 is bad.

Some more info: bug still exists even if i move .profile .bashrc somewhere else. Bug goes away if I run zsh via linux console, but bug remains if I run zsh via xfce4-terminal. Possibly something on my environment is causing this, will investigate further...

Bug persists even if I change shell to dash /bin/sh or even /bin/csh and completely comment out /etc/profile so that it's blank. At this point the only envvars I have set are HOME HUSHLOGIN IFS LANG LANGUAGE LOGNAME MAIL OPTIND PATH PPID PS1 PS2 PS4 PWD SHELL TERM USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR XDG_SEAT XDG_SESSION_COOKIE XDG_SESSION_ID XDGVTNR so I don't see how any of the could be affecting this... As mentioned, the bug doesn't appear in a zsh login shell though, so perhaps it has a special workaround for this sort of thing...
