What locale are you running in? This works for me.
[petri@dsl-hkigw4l83 petri]$ locale LANG=fi_FI@euro LC_CTYPE="fi_FI@euro" LC_NUMERIC="fi_FI@euro" LC_TIME="fi_FI@euro" LC_COLLATE="fi_FI@euro" LC_MONETARY="fi_FI@euro" LC_MESSAGES="fi_FI@euro" LC_PAPER="fi_FI@euro" LC_NAME="fi_FI@euro" LC_ADDRESS="fi_FI@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="fi_FI@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="fi_FI@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fi_FI@euro" LC_ALL= [petri@dsl-hkigw4l83 petri]$
I should correct "How reproducible:" field to perhaps "sometimes." I cannot repeat this always but I have seen this behaviour many times.
Are you perhaps pressing 'shift-space' by accident? Can you get this to happen inside a 'script' session? If so, the resulting typescript would be interesting to look at.
Think I see what's going on: you have: rpm -qa |*grep vorbis where '*' is a UTF-8 character that looks just like a space. For example, AltGr+Shift+6 produces such a character.
Yeah, maybe that is the the problem. I can delete this 'magic' character with backspace. The problem with this is: a) I don't how can I manage to always type that invisible character. b) Why on earth there must other invisible characters than space! ;) Space must be the only invisible character, others must always print some trash. This would make people's life lots of easier.
