What's going on? How can it be fixed?
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.
