I use lxde with its default terminal emulator lxterminal, often when I write a long line it goes crazy:
1- all is fine
[ezzetabi@nakoruru ~]$
2- I start writing the command
[ezzetabi@nakoruru ~]$ rm -rf ~/
3- I use tab a couple of times to autocomplete... and the text goes crazy
tember-2009-Vollversion.exe f ~/Downloads/WinFuture_WinXPsp2_UpdatePack_2.43_Sept
Instead I expected:
[ezzetabi@nakoruru ~]$ rm -rf ~/Downloads/WinFuture_WinXPsp2_UpdatePack_2.43_September-2009-Vollversion.exe
The problem seems disappearing if I use export TERM=xterm, but it seems somewhat wrong...
Any idea?

As far as i recall this happens when bash does not have the right idea about the size of the window it is running in. Try adding the following to your bashrc.
shopt -s checkwinsize
If you have changed your PROMPT that may also be causing some problems.
