Description Egmont Koblinger 2016-09-11 19:16:30 UTC 
See bug 771256 (and the commit that fixes that). We should do something to prevent these kinds of breakages in the future.

The entire list of OSC sequences is dupliated for BEL and ST terminators. It should be present in the source code only once and auto-generated.

There's no verification whether the strings in caps.cc indeed match the ones in vteseq-n.gperf and hence we do not catch typos, instead we just silently begin to ignore the given escape sequence.

This was fixed long ago with the new parser.
