Faulty behaviour with monero-wallet-cli in certain terminal emulators #6713

When using monero-wallet-cli with certain terminal emulators such as urxvt or suckless' st, text formatting is all messed up. There's faulty whitespace all over the place, CTRL+L to clear the terminal doesn't work and you cannot delete characters using backspace either. This doesn't happen with xterm for example.

Do other readline using programs generally work ?

Parckwart commented 4 years ago

Yes, I think so…

Things like bc and parted all work perfectly fine.

Found a workaround: Setting $TERM to "xterm" did the trick.
