Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 OS: Linux I'm sshed into my Linux box from an OS X 10.3 box, using Apple's X11 server. With only one tab open everything behaves as expected. When another tab is opened (and even after it has been closed), konsole no longer recognizes the characters "*" and "+", instead using them to scroll through the open tabs.
Can you reproduce this behavior when not ssh-ed into the Linux box running KDE?
Running the latest KDE 3.4 beta RC1 (compiled from scratch on a new Gentoo 2004.3 install) I can no longer reproduce this bug. I don't know what the particular combination was that caused it, but it seems to have gone away.
Good to hear, reopen if you can reproduce it again.
