However I found a really simple fix that no-one has mentioned anywhere yet. Open terminal. Go to the terminal menu in finder -> preferences. Click on the "Advanced" button on the right then change the pull down box next to "Declare Terminal as" to "ANSI" and close settings. You will need to fully exit and reload terminal for this to take effect. Viola! Fixed! I had this exact problem on Mac OSX and the above did _not_ fix it for me.

Open terminal. Go to the terminal menu in finder -> preferences.

Click on the “Advanced” button on the right then change the pull down box next to “Declare Terminal as” to “ANSI” and close settings. You will need to fully exit and reload terminal for this to take effect.

Viola! Fixed!

Put it in ~/.bash_profile to add it permanently. As others have said, export TERM=xterm fixes things. Put it in ~/.bash_profile to add it permanently.

Just enable the checkbox, "Delete sends Ctrl+h". This way you can leave you terminal declared as xterm-color. tata -flip There is also a checkbox in the advanced terminal.app preferences that will fix this issue.
