Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Utilities	Severity:	S2 (Serious)
Version:	1.5.4	OS:	Linux (CentOS 7)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
When using mysqluc as console, press 'home' button on the keyboard to get to the beginning of the line you will see that 'H' is printed and same with 'end' button where the 'F' is printed.

mysqluc> mysqldisusageHHHHHHFFFFFFF --server

After all, if you want to delete all lines using 'backspace' it will delete even  mysqluc > (the prompt)

How to repeat:
Intsall MySQL Utilities version 1.5.4 using yum and run as in described.

Suggested fix:
Add functionality to use 'Home' and 'End' buttons, because there are very handy.

Hello Shahriyar Rzayev,

Thank you for the report.
Observed this on CentOS7 with MySQL utilities 1.5.4 rpm installation.
Didn't observe this with OL6( but with 1.6.1).

Thanks,
Umesh

Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Utilities 1.6.2 release, and here's the changelog entry:

When using the mysqluc console, pressing Home would print the 'H'
character instead of moving the cursor to the beginning of the line, and
pressing End would print the 'F' character instead of moving to the end of
the line.

Thank you for the bug report.
