I don't have a solution but wanted to reply to say that this happens to |
| 28 |
me too. I have a regular desktop running KDE. I use Konsole for most |
| 29 |
of my command line activity. I've noticed that this happens with a lot |
| 30 |
of programs. It has been happening so long, I thought maybe it was the |
| 31 |
new way things are done. It is aggravating and confusing at times. |

You are not alone on this. I'm hoping someone will post a fix. |
