pink square tan demo

If I hoover the mouse pointer over the word "tan" konsole produces a strange
pink square.  I've not noticed it do this for any other word and I've not down
anything that makes "tan" special (such as search).  It doesn't work for "ta"
and it doesn't work for the string "tan" inside another string (eg stan and
tango are normal). It respects certain white space so " tan " " tan(" ")tan"
"*tan" both produce the square but "stan" doesn't.

I can only presume this is some feature I'm unaware of gone wrong but what it
is I've no idea.
