TCL:11 Is this a feature? Can't type in when a job is background'ed

[Santos]

Hi!

Pretty much the title. When I do something like:

Code: [Select]

ls | less
Ctrl + z

And, if for some reason the shell needs input from me -e.g when trying to replace a file with cp-, I just can't type in anything at all.

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ cp ./1 ./2/
cp: overwrite './2/1'?

Can quit it with Ctrl+C though.
Is it a shell or terminal issue? Or even an issue at all?
Happens with graphic/text mode.

Thank you in advance.

Edit: As far as I remember it's the same with TCL 7-10.

Most likely shell bug, please try bash.

Ok, done it. Tried Bash, but now it's the other way around. Can't go back to the job, but I'm able to type in.

Code: [Select]
