Dear Maintainer,

I've upgraded recently my Debian Sid machine, and now I can't press
backspace in mutt(1) or neomutt(1) while reading a message to go up one
line.

This still works in xterm(1), but is broken in xfce4-terminal(1) and
gnome-terminal(1).

I originally reported this to xfce4-terminal, but they suggested the
issue is probably with libvte, since gnome-terminal also shares this
problem, and since the upgrade included libvte, but not xfce4-terminal.
<https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/327#note_93009>

According to the guidelines, this could be severity critical, since it
breaks other software, but since the breakage is mild, I think it's just
severity normal.

Have a lovely day!
Alex

Looks like a dup of debian bug 1079886
