I cannot reproduce those steps because I do not have access to sqlplus which appears to be an Oracle utility. If you can reproduce the problem with freely available software or if you can find out what is going on in the terminal then I might be able to help. > [7] The Konsole will then behave in a strange way, something like this: Strange in what way? The text "screenshots" included in the report do not really explain the problem. Does the problem occur with other terminals (eg. xterm, gnome-terminal)?
Closing as 'REMIND' (Need more information)
I've tried to perform the same procedure on xterm and it also behaved in a strange way (cursor not working correctly ...etc). Hence I conclude that this bug related to rlwrap.
