I'm using zsh as shell, and it's not a setting in my .zshrc file,
if I move that away and start a new xterm I still have this problem.

My .Xresources contains the following regarding xterms:

XTerm*scrollBar: false
XTerm*saveLines: 500
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*foreground: white
#define FONT_LARGE -b&h-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-*-*-25-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*VT100*font5: FONT_LARGE

Regards,
Sander.
