Description Bronson 2017-02-10 11:37:17 UTC
fresh install of kde neon user edition. Adjusted fonts(of that affects it?) after typing in a command, or running a script the console does not return to the prompt. 
Requiring a new konsole or new window for each command executed...

So hitting enter doesn't show the prompt?  can you give a screenshot?

Comment 4 Bronson 2017-02-17 00:13:30 UTC
attached screen shots. First is what happens when the script is finished. Second one shows hitting enter a few times... No command prompt returns.
Its a very intermittent bug. But possibly related to changing the user fonts from the kde fonts app?


This was after running a sh script with the following:


#!/bin/sh

# append to end of file if doesnt exist
LINE='deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib\n'
FILE=/etc/apt/sources.list
grep -q "$LINE" "$FILE" || echo $LINE | sudo tee -a $FILE

# install key
wget -q https://www.virtualbox.org/download/oracle_vbox_2016.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

# update & install
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
sudo apt-get install virtualbox-5.1 dkms -y

Note: I am no maintainer but from the bugsquad.

Hey Bronson,

could you give me some more infos so I can try to reproduce this bug (because I currently cannot)?

What font did you change to?
Does the issue exist in the current versions of konsole or do you still use the 16.12.1?

System Information:
konsole 17.12.3
kde-plasma-version: 5.12.6
kde-frameworks-version: 5.44.0
qt-version: 5.9.5
Comment 6 Bronson 2018-11-04 04:35:57 UTC
It doesn't happen with typed commands any more.

It still happens after executing any sh script from dolphin. However the discussion I had last was that this was the intended way that konsole is to operate. 

So its a bit of an unfortunate default, but if that's the developers choice, then this bug can be closed.
