Bug#266336: xterm changes meta-X to meta-8 in en_US.UTF-8 locale
Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
When I run emacs inside an xterm which was started in the en_US.UTF-8 locale,
and press alt-X, emacs seems to receive a meta-8 keypress instead of a meta-X
keypress. When I start the xterm in the en_US.ISO-8859-1 locale instead, alt-X
is correctly received as meta-X (as it is when I run emacs in its own X
window).
This sounds like it could be related to #135075, BTW.
