| Summary | 0003114: 64 char limit per line limit at serial port terminal | ||||||||
| Description |
I have noticed that if you exceed 64 characters on a serial login console that when you go to backspace (delete characters using the backspace key or moving back characters using the left arrow key) and hit the 64 character mark that the cursor automatically jumps up one line. Example: (using 10 characters instead of 64 to save space) Grabbed from console, (% represents cursor location): root@localhost:/$ root@localhost:/$ cp /homme/root/.ssh/known_hosts_hosts . % ok so I have a typo homme and want to backspace (using left arrow key) and fix it: Right before the line jump (11 characters from the left): root@localhost:/$ root@localhost:/$ cp /homme/r%oot/.ssh/known_hosts_hosts . Now I hit the left arrow key one more time: root@localhost:/$ % root@localhost:/$ cp /homme/r%oot/.ssh/known_hosts_hosts . and the cursor is now on the line above the command. The interesting thing is it is only displayed on that line but behaves as if it is still on the line below. If I would type some character and hit enter it would run the command with the characters typed in were the cursor *should* be even though the characters were typed on the line above that location. It sounds like this is not a big issue but if you need to delete a typo and type something new in you need to count backspaces so you know were the cursor should be. |
