+Summary: Backspace character fails to work at the end of a string.
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+\b as the escape symbol for backspace does not work in a Console.WriteLine
+when being positioned in the end of the string.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+Console.WriteLine("Backspace\b");
+Console.Write("Backspace\b");
+Console.WriteLine();
+Console.WriteLine("Backspace\b ");
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Backspace
+Backspac
+Backspac
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Backspac
+Backspac
+Backspac
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+It is not just cosmetical but can get nasty if for example output of one
+program has to be parsed by another program. The error is not mono
+specific, but also reproducable in .NET, thus probably being a
+specification bug.
+Not sure if it should be fixed, that would lose .NET compatibility. I have
+not filed a bug report at microsoft.
