I am using ubuntu 8.04 & in gnome-terminal when I type a letter i see weird foreign character.
When I ran ls then
bash: ልስ: command not found
Also If I copy & paste text from gedit(notepad) then it is alright like
$alias ls
alias ls='ls --color=never -pCA'
$
Ran 'reset' in gnome-terminal but invain.
My current character encoding is UTF-8 .Keyboard indicator says USA.
In xterm everything is normal.
What do you suggest ?

was compiz running? I ran into this using gentoo. Never really did figure out what was causing it other than something with compiz. I think the emerald WM. But it's been about a year ago. It was kind of hit or miss with it. sometimes it worked, other times it didn't. But try turning off Compiz if it's running.
Thank You repo.
I typed reset & it became alright.
I think cat command outputs content of file just like 'type' in MS-DOS.
Is this garbled scene a bug in gnome-terminal ?
