You have talked about the testing in Putty and the intended changed in behavior in Mintty, but this change affects all terminals. What have you done to verify there are no regressions elsewhere (cmd, older OS)? |
|
When testing for regressions don't forget SSH clients such as SecureCRT, Tera Term. |
|
Note that this pr restores the behaviour of terminals to the situation before #9933, so I don't think we have to be afraid of any major regressions here. |

Link to issue number:
Closes #1348.
Related to #9933, #9986.
Summary of the issue:
In Mintty, the last character of the prompt is read when quickly deleting text, just as in Windows Console (see this comment and the "summary of the issue" section in #9986).
Description of how this pull request fixes the issue:
This PR disables caret events for all
Terminalobjects by overridingNVDAObjects.behaviors.Terminal._get_caretMovementDetectionUsesEvents, instead of only Windows Console like in #9986.Testing performed:
Tested the steps to reproduce from #1348 in PuTTY and observed that extra characters are no longer read. Verified that caret movement and backspace reporting are still functional in PuTTY after the changes.
Known issues with pull request:
None.
Change log entry:
None (py3 regression).
