I'm experiencing a weird malfunction. x11-terms/gnome-terminal echos some characters to the non-graphical environment (console). I start a Gnome session with GDM. I start gnome-terminal and do something like this: markus@ryzen ~ $ markus@ryzen ~ $ echo pre > /dev/tty2 markus@ryzen ~ $ ßßß bash: ßßß: command not found markus@ryzen ~ $ echo post > /dev/tty2 markus@ryzen ~ $ I will also attach a screenshot. My locale is "en_US.utf8". The character I entered three times is "Latin Small Letter sharp S" (hexadecimal DF or decimal 223 or octal 337). My keyboard is German, there is a corresponding key. When I press the key I get an echo in gnome-terminal, but also to /dev/tty2. I paused my machine on shutdown and made a screenshot with fbgrab. I will attach the screenshot. I get a similiar result when I start the Gnome session without GDM from the console with "XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland dbus-run-session gnome-session". The unicode characters "ä" Latin Small Letter A with diaeresis (decimal 228) "ö" Latin Small Letter O with diaeresis (decimal 246) "ü" Latin Small Letter U with diaeresis (decimal 252) don't echo to the console when I press the corresponding keys.

It looks similar to bug 715526, but it was solved with bash-5
I would try to narrow the problem down by checking whether the echo is reproduced by: * pressing the key inside the gnome-terminal without being followed by Enter key, * cutting and pasting the letter to the gnome-terminal, and/or * pressing the key outside the gnome-terminal. I would also try to identify who echos by using the strace command (dev-util/strace).
I will try these steps. I found out that it doesn't happen in an Xorg Gnome session. And it also doesn't happen when I enter the character with "CTRL + SHIFT + u". And then the four hex digits 00DF.

It's sufficient to start the Wayland Gnome session and press the key. Could this be a keyboard driver problem? > > I would also try to identify who echos by using the strace command > (dev-util/strace).

So we need to change the summary to better describe the issue. gnome-terminal does not seem to be relevant here.
