            Bug ID: 36704
           Summary: wine cmd uses overwrite mode instead of insert mode
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.19
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org

When you start 'wine cmd' from gnome-terminal, it launches the wine command
interpreter embedded in gnome-terminal. When you use the arrow keys to modify a
command that you just typed, it is set to overwrite (replace characters)
instead of inserting inbetween. However, gnome-terminal uses insert mode and
that is what the user was using just moments before.

I believe Windows 7 also uses insert mode
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff758104.aspx) and if there is not
a good reason against it, it would make sense to have it as default in wine, or
better to inherit such a setting from the shell/desktop environment.

For an example, see related topic in the forum:
