All three members concern the dashboard /chat terminal on Android, where Gboard input reportedly loses typed letters in connection with xterm's handling of keyCode-229 keydown events. One is a bug report and two are fix proposals taking different approaches (letting 229 keydowns reach xterm versus recovering dropped letters).
