I, too, have no problems - I'm using vte-based roxterm. Always had
"xterm" TERM in SL 6.1 and 6.2.
I checked other vte-based terminal emulator that I used in the past,
sakura; it works just fine out of the box, too.

There are tons of vte-based terminals out there, and from that bug it's
hard to say how many people are affected: the problem, if present, seems
to be confirmed for just a few of them. So maybe most of people never
notice if this bug is present at all.
