Description Lenz Grimmer 2005-11-02 13:28:32 UTC 
The command line editor from zsh does not seem to support Unicode characters yet - it gets confused if one enters non-ASCII characters. This is quite annoying, as it basically means one has to retype the whole command from scratch again :(

This is documented in the zsh FAQ at http://zsh.dotsrc.org/FAQ/zshfaq02.html#l16 - I was just wondering if SUSE is putting any resources on assisting the zsh developers with that? It would be nice to have a functional shell again at some point... Thanks in advance.

No, we're not putting any resources into it, but as said in the other bug
this is being closed as a dupe of, this is something they're actively working on upstream. It's more than "just" to do, hence patience is required.
