[BDS-1083] Any non-character inputs replaced by different characters. Created: 10/Jul/19  Updated: 29/Jan/21  Resolved: 29/Jan/21

Status: Resolved
Project: Bedrock Dedicated Server
Affects Version/s: 1.8.1.2
Fix Version/s: None

Type: Bug
Reporter: Justin Assignee: Unassigned
Resolution: Incomplete Votes: 1
Labels: awaiting-confirmation
Environment:

Running latest BDS (as of 7/9/19) on Ubuntu EC2 virtual machine via AWS. Accessing through

ssh 

command on Windows 10 command prompt.



 Description   

When inputting anything other than a letter, number or symbol, an escape? character is inputted instead. For example,

 

  • Backspace is replaced with
    ^H

    and does not delete the preceding character.

 

  • The up, down, right, and left arrow keys are replaced with 
    ^[[A, ^[[B, ^[[C, or ^[[D

    respectively.

 

  • All function keys (F1, F2, etc) are replaced with
    ^[[11~, ^[[12~, etc.

    depending on the key pressed.

 

  • Home, Insert, Delete, End, PgUp, and PgDn are replaced with
    ^[[1~, ^[[2~, etc. 

    respectively.

 

This only becomes an issue when typos are made and the command needs to be retyped from the beginning without error, as pressing the backspace or delete keys only inserts the matching escape character. This becomes especially annoying when attempting to whitelist players with longer username lengths, especially considering that it is case-sensitive.

Hi Justin,

I've just tried to reproduce this and it would appear that it has mostly been fixed.

Are you able to confirm the same is true for yourself?

The F# keys don't work but given they shouldn't be used anyway I'm not sure that's really an issue. The only remaining key I believe should function and doesn't is Delete.
