Re: Backspace in BiCon (a bug?)

[Behdad Esfahbod <behdad at cs dot toronto dot edu>]

Hey,

I can't check it right now, but probably you are right that
backspace does not work in BiCon.  The problem is that BiCon does
not do anything special about it, and neither does the terminal
layer.  So a backspace end up deleting only one *byte* of the
multi-byte character.
