That is common, but then I mostly use the command line and so ls is |
| 14 |
used a lot. |

That is the most common manifestation, e.g. missing the 'v' from 'mv', |
| 25 |
but I have also seen the problem when using longer commands. |

Just tried it: no, the problem was absent. |

Tried that too: again the problem disappears. Oddly, when I exited |
| 36 |
from that environment (back to regular bash) the problem did not |
| 37 |
re-appear. It re-appeared only when I logged out and then back in. |

I'm embarrased to admit I don't know how to get to that. |
