Konsole Bug = Automatically adding SPACE when typing.

I don't know what happened, but for some reason when I start typing in Konsole (e.g., sudo pacman... etc.) it automatically inserts a space before the "s" (or any character I enter) and continues to display the previous character entered while not displaying the character currently being entered -- making inputting commands troublesome.

This error is not reproduced when inputting text via Yakuake.

How can I correct this issue with konsole? Is it possible to reinstall it?

Re: Konsole Bug = Automatically adding SPACE when typing.

Start by just deleting the config file of Konsole. Reinstalling software is rarely a solution on Linux.

This is why it is important to not depend on "Installers".  One has no way of knowing how they arrived at the unknown state.

This is probably a font issue, try changing the font used in Konsole.

I deleted the konsolerc located at ~/.kde4/share/config/konsolerc.  Then launched konsole again, but the problem persists.

This is probably a font issue, try changing the font used in Konsole.

But I didn't alter any default fonts.

Just to reiterate, Konsole was not exhibiting this problem before.

Before a recent upgrade? You could try downgrading to a previous version.

No, didn't do an upgrade.  I honestly can't remember what I was doing.  Just opened it to install some packages and noticed it was behaving this way.

Re: Konsole Bug = Automatically adding SPACE when typing.

Update: If I log out of my KDE Plasma environment, login to my Gnome environment, and run Konsole there, this problem is absent.
