you do not mention which fedora, so i will presume 13, as most every one
has upgraded to it.

i have same/similar problem with fedora 12, except that it is in terminal.

i did not report it because i thought it was a unique problem to my install.

i usually wait a few weeks after updates come out in hopes that problems
will be corrected when i do update. also, i am on ultra lite 768k dsl, but
i am only getting a max speed of 100k with a usual speed of 48 - 56k. this
is a bit slow to try to use when new releases come out and everyone else is
downloading.

i now wish that i had brought this problem up before your mentioning this
as problem appears to have, in your case, transfered to 13 upgrade.

i am not sure when it happened, but i do know that it was when kde went
thru an update.

i also get "~]$ #". [using '#' to show block cursor]

i actually get "Upat #". if i use left arrow key i get "Upat#e"

same.

agreed. i presume it is allowing passing of parameters.

i am not using nVidia driver.

i have not tried xterm and as stated above, i am using kde. have not used
gnome from 'day 1' of kde.

that is all i can offer. i hope someone has a solution. i have lived with it
for a while now. fortunately, i am not in a terminal often.
