There has been a change in the way characters are echoed by the shell, with 12.1 treating a consecutive run of backspace as an atomic unit and CURRENT processing them one at a time. This is not necessarily a bug, but it is a nuisance and independently it is suboptimal. I have the same breakage with an amd64 laptop running HEAD (and using tramp-mode from emacs on a 12.x host) Have you been able to bisect it at all? I think libedit is probably a good candidate as well. What I see is that tramp-mode just hangs until I kill the ssh session it is using, and then I see the same output you had below in the debug window showing the extraneous newlines. -- John Baldwin
