Bug#698297: konsole: sends NUL characters to session
Package: konsole
Version: 4:4.8.4-2
Severity: normal
This version of Konsole randomly sends NUL characters to the session,
mostly when hitting the Enter key (but also sometimes in between). These
become visible as ^@ sequences on the shell.
I tried to reproduce with other terminal emulators (libvte-based and
xterm), both do not show the same behaviour.
Any hints on how to trace down the issue are welcome; should this prove
to be a bug rather than my fault, the priority should be set to at least
important as it renders the terminal mostly unusable and can even cause
data corruption, for exampe when using a text editor that does not
ignore the control sequence.
