Does this still happen with KDE 2.2.2?

This problem still exists in KDE 3.0.3 (from mandrake 9.0). It's not just
limited to ls -l. When displaying chinese on Konsole, whether it's from less, vi
or ls, the display is not updated correctly.  This results in garbled display in
konsole. If I minimise the konsole and un-minimise, the display is fixed. Thus
it has to be a redrawing problem.

I've created a attachment which is a chinese char text file for you to try out
in konsole. You can compare it by opening it and scrolling up and down in emacs
or even kedit (it's not a qt problem).

oh, it's for tradition chinese with big5 encoding.
