I am using xterm, bash, i3 version 4.5.1 I did not touch any config files in the last days (except some grub stuff a week ago) tty works, so it looks like a windows manager/ terminal emulator problem I tried urxvt and it works, so maybe its a xterm bug?

Usually xterm releases updates once every 5 years (just joking ;) ), now we have 2 updates in less than a month...Mon, 08 Jul 2013 06:29:20 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2146/cant-type-in-more-than-one-terminal-on-screen/?comment=2153#comment-2153
