This is just a guess, but it sounds like an issue with the
shell command rather than the terminal.  Are you using the
default shell, bash?

If so, do you have a custom PS1 or PROMPT_COMMAND?

Having non-printing characters in the prompt string which
are not properly escaped can cause this sort of problem.

You can test this by starting a new shell with the typical
PS1 used in Fedora, e.g.:

    PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ ' bash
