Description Darshit Shah 2013-12-15 11:44:03 UTC

When using Wget (specifically, since I haven't tried with anything else), the lines on the Konsole screen are slightly overwritten. This may be a regression since I never faced this issue the last time I used Konsole. 

This issue usually occurs when things are being output to the screen very fast. It happens regularly with wget for me. Such issues do not occur on other terminal emulators, which leads me to believe that this is a bug in Konsole. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Konsole
2. Try to download any page using Wget
3. See the output
Actual Results:  
Some of the lines are partially overwritten as can be clearly seen in the screenshot at http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-12152013-050622pm.php

Expected Results:  
The output lines should be clearly separate.

The problem here is that the font you are using misses some quoting characters, and there it falls back to a different font, which has different metrics.

Try other fonts and let us know if you get this behavior with them all - I'm fairly sure comment #1 is correct.

Comment 3 Darshit Shah 2014-01-17 12:38:33 UTC

comment #1 was indeed correct. The problem seems to be with the font. Fixed.

Thanks!
