Are you using any text editor or backspace key doesn't work at shell prompt only?

Im using the linux dekstop terminal. it just maigcally starting beeiping when I was using backspace and it bacame a button that functions exactly like the delete key.

My backspace key just stopped working as well, in Fedora 10, but only terminal. It works normal in gedit and firefox, and probably everything else, but not terminal. It behaves like the delete key, which still works fine. ^h will work as a temporary fix, but that is somewhat inconvenient to use on a regular basis.

Go to, in terminal, Edit -> profile preferences -> compatibility and set "backspace key generates" to "Control-H". That should fix the problem.
