Description Rick Stanley 2016-06-01 23:49:50 UTC 
After the latest update the cursor appears to have two spaces before the visible cursor, only after su to root.  This does not occur as regular user, in the [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[F1] console as root, or the XTerm terminal, as root.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press [F12] to invoke Yakuake
2. su to login as root
3.

Actual Results:  
Visible Block cursor two characters to the right of where it should be.

Expected Results:  
Cursor appears as it should be immediately after the last character entered.

It becomes VERY annoying when you attempt to edit the command line.  I "Purged" Yakuake using aptitude, then reinstalled, without success.  I have not altered the default prompt for root or regular user.  I can provide images if that would help.

Most likely a font issue. Try a different font.
Comment 2 Rick Stanley 2016-06-02 23:27:13 UTC 
That corrected the problem, but why did a daily update alter the behavior of the application?  I did not change anything myself to cause this to happen.  My end of this is now closed.
