I first saw this a couple years ago, in a different distro, and noticed that changing character size (try Ctrl_+ or Ctrl_- in Konsole) made it go away. It's probably a Konsole problem.
Seeing this not in gnome (gnome-terminal), and not on the virtual terminals (ctrl alt F1,...).
FWIW, I can duplicate this behavior in gnome-terminal.  All I need to do is Edit the Profile Preferences and pick "Custom font" and Monospace Regular with a size greater than 13.

Interesting. On my system (KDE/Konsole) the problem goes away when I change font from "Monospace-Normal-14" to "Liberation Mono-Regular-14".

Or when I change font size (using "Monospace-Normal-14") bigger or smaller using CTLR/+ or CTRL/-.

So for me the problem is "solved"; but it looks like something is wrong with the font display both in Gnome-Terminal and Konsole.
