FreeBSD remote with "SSH Shell" - editing issue

FreeBSD remote with "SSH Shell" - editing issue

avatar

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR:
In my opinion, this defect is relevant to FreeBSD remotes. I tried to install csh/tcsh on my linux box and set it as default shells (sure, I used same .cshrc file) - defect isn't reproduced
Also it isn't reproduced in "PuTTY" session with default options

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:
Step 4 - characters should be inserted, not overwrited

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Create FreeBSD remote using "SSH Shell". All options are default. Connect to the server
2. Type any non-existent command, for example "hello_world". Output:

xander@itstep-e [/home/xander/]> hello_world
hello_world: Command not found.

3. Click Up key - previous command will be displayed on screen
4. Try to edit this command to "hello_my_world". Move cursor to "w" character and type "my_" - characters will be overwritten, not be inserted ! Output:
xander@itstep-e [/home/xander/]> hello_my_ld
5. Press Enter. Already edited command will be correctly sended to server
hello_my_world: Command not found.

ENVIRONMENT:
FreeBSD remotes with sh, csh or tcsh shells

Hi,

We have been able to reproduce your issue but there is not much to do for now. We are using a third party component and we will communicate with them to see if there is something to do.
