           Summary:  In Konsole, sometimes need to hit enter twice to see
                    result of command
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: jking.phys gmail com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I am running openSuse 11.0, with the nvidia drivers, and compiz fusion enabled (with usecompositewrapper=true, although the problem appears regardless).

If I open up a konsole window, the first few commands process fine. After
perhaps a few screens worth of text, the bug appears, which then happens every
time.

Suppose I type "ls" in the prompt (it doesn't matter if the directory has 1 or
50 files), then hit enter.
I get a new prompt on the next line, with no ls output. The "ls" command is
carried onto the new prompt. If I then hit "enter" again, I get the output of
ls.

Similarly, if I type "whoami" in the prompt, then hit enter, I get a new prompt
with "whoami" out the front. If I hit enter again, I get the the output of
whoami.

Sometimes, instead of getting a prompt with the command repeated, I just get a
blank newline. If I hit enter then I get the results of the command.

This is very weird.

I have tried updating to the latest version of the KDE programs (including
konsole) from the KDE YAST repository, but the effect is the same.

This bug has been posted at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402439, with a request for me to cite that bug report.

Thanks guys.
