Could we get the discussion moving again?] That can only be right if normal-erase-is-backspace-mode is a terminal-local variable. normal-erase-is-backspace-mode is a function, not a variable. And it seems to be designed to affect the current terminal only. normal-erase-is-backspace is a customizable variable, and I can't find anything to make it terminal-local. So I think customizing it probably has a bug. I do not know any way to test Emacs with multiple terminals. Can someone else please test the function and the variable? Then please reply with a report.
