Hi,
I changed to Ubuntu a few weeks ago and have only just
noticed a small problem: when I type a pound sign (£)
in the terminal window it acts a bit like ^C, cancelling
the input line and displaying a '#' character.
I noticed this trying to update stuff in my MySQL
database and thought at first it was a MySQL problem
but then realised that it does it at the normal command
prompt also. I used to use XTerm terminal windows under
Mandrake before I switched and never saw this problem.
Anyone know what is going on, and more importantly,
how to get out of it?
Bill
