20263.12.0 64-bit Unexpected echo and input during Telnet connection

avatar

I encountered the following issues while establishing a Telnet connection:
1. Typing a single character results in two characters being displayed.
2. The echo does not show up in accordance with the device's output.
3. The right-click on the mouse activates the copy content input function. How should I solve this problem?
Here is the screenshot of my settings. I hope it will be helpful.

Hello,

Did all of this work for you in a previous version? If so do you remember which one?

For the echo/ double character displayed, could you configure the logs in your entry properties at verbose level 2 and give us the output as it could help us see what's going on?

Hi @Confused Hao

What type of server are you connecting to? Based on the logs you sent, the server is not responding to telnet option negotiation, and seems to have echo on by default which is unusual for telnet.

You could try setting the "Local echo" setting to "Off"

You could try the "Raw terminal" instead and see if it works better, You would have to set "Local echo" to "Off" as well.

I made some investigation, and I believe you will need to use the telnet terminal, and set the "Local echo" setting to "Off", but it does not work at the moment. I made a fix that will be available, probably in the next version.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I didn't understand what "original end point" refers to. The same situation occurs when local echo is turned off. This is quite strange, but in fact, sometimes the device doesn't receive two identical character inputs. It only shows two characters when inputting one character in the RDM program. And I also found that pressing the Enter key would display twice, but the device only received one input.
Sorry, I am unable to upload GIF images or videos. I will present it through pictures, hoping to clarify the issue.
