Need more info. What version of KDE/Konsole? Are you using non-English term? perhaps a screenshot of the offense? Always having this bug with kde 3.5.1 and kubuntu packages :( WELL!!! That is very strange.... Here's the offending line 51: echo -n "^[]R" Konsole doesn't like the the escape ]R If you 'less file.log', you'll see less changes the line to 'echo -n "R"'. Granted it works in xterm when you 'cat' the file. When catting from gnome-terminal, the line changes to 'echo -n "?]R"' where ? is the greater-than-equal to sign... If you want to cat files containing escape sequences you need to use "cat -v". It doesn't display as you would expect in xterm either - notice that the offending line appears as 'echo -n ""' instead of 'echo -n "^[]R"'. There is something to look into here because Xterm's behaviour is different from Konsole's. Closing as per comment #9, cat needs to be run with "-v" to cat files containing escape sequences. |
