What locale are you running in? This works for me.

I should correct "How reproducible:" field to perhaps "sometimes." I cannot
repeat this always but I have seen this behaviour many times.


Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2002-08-21 08:35:48 UTC
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.

Comment 5 Tim Waugh 2002-08-22 11:12:14 UTC
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.

Comment 6 Petri T. Koistinen 2002-08-31 18:50:47 UTC
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.
