Hi, I was previously running mandrake 10 community edition and have now upgraded to the official final. The addition of a router has broken dcc chat with my bots at least for now so am having to use telnet more.
However, when I telnet in I cannot use the cursor keys to edit a line as i type it, or press cursor up to repeat command, instead of it working like that I get these escape codes ^[[A ^[[B ^[[C ^[[D for the four arrows
I pretty darned certain this behaved properly previously, I've used the same bot config, and even compiled another in case it was a compile problem between the different versions. a normal console behaves correctly, its only when logged into the bot.
Am I mistaken in thinking this didn't do this before and theres some fix?
Many Thanks.

cursor keys don't work as expected

If i telnet into my shell, or my own box (ssh or telnet) and use the shell normally then it behaves correctly... its only when i telnet into the eggdrop itself, I don't recall it doing this before
its certainly a pain when i got half a dozen .chattrs to do with same flags, much nicer to cursor up and edit the user name

Indeed, that is the correct behaviour.
Remember, this is eggdrop, and not a telnet server.
Telnet is designed for console control, whilst eggdrop is designed as a simple interactive interface, nothing more.
The only reason you DCC client supports this, is because you are editing the string to be sent in your client, before it is sent to the bot.
In telnet, each character is sent as you type, and buffered until you hit return or enter.
