I use urxvt in combination with zsh. However since my fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 I have the following problem. If I type backspace the cursor moves to the right (instead of deleting the characters on the left).



Suppose I typed n characters then pressing backspace n-times moves the cursor n- positions to the left, if I type backspace then one more, the cursor doesn't move anymore.



If I type the left arrow, nothing happens, if I type the right arrow afterwards a some character occurs.



mv .zshrc .zshrc.bak
mv .Xdefaults .Xdefaults.bak


didn't help.



urxvt + bash works fine as well as xterm + zsh.



zsh-version: 4.3.11-4ubuntu2.is.3ubuntu1
rxvt-unicode version: 9.09-3



Any idea how to fix this?
