Bug ID: 505582
Summary: Executing the command "cat /usr/bin/rm" causes all
subsequent lowercase letters typed into konsole to be
gibberish until app is restarted.
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: task
Priority: NOR
Component: font
Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
Reporter: 76692e6c656e696e at gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Created attachment 182259
--> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=182259&action=edit
the commands "echo abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "echo
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", "echo !@#$%^&*()" , and "echo 1234567890" executed
after replication.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Execute "cat /usr/bin/rm"
OBSERVED RESULT
The terminal is filled with � [among other] characters [as is the norm when
using cat on a binary file], but the lowercase letters in the user/hostname
will be gibberish. Typing and executing "clear" will clear the terminal, but
the user/hostname will still be gibberish and so will any subsequent lowercase
letters entered. Characters that are displayed on the terminal due to a cat
operation on a text file are not affected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Lowercase letters remain legible.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The gibberish is not randomized, either between separate terminal sessions or
separate occurrences of the same letter. Does not persist through app restarts,
and it does not stop commands from being recognized.
