is it just me, or when you "adb shell" into the device and then use a program that uses the arrow keys everything goes berserk?
it seems like it's overlaying the command history into the on-screen buffer and all future interactions are corrupted beyond repair.
for example, run vi and use arrow keys to navigate around (yes, i know there are other methods for this, just using this to illustrate) and it pulls info from some sort of history buffer on to the screen.
another example is the ash shell. up and down arrows behave nicely at first allowing you to scroll through your command history. but, it degrades fairly rapidly into being unusable
this does not seem to be an issue using scroll ball in terminal on the device.
I can't find anything in the Android Issues Page.
I've reproduced this in multiple builds on multiple OS's on multiple machines (but I've only got one G1, hence this thread)
Does anyone have any insight?
