wtf???

this happens only in this one terminal window

and only the shell is affected, i can’t even type # without it appearing as Β£

opening this file in vim is fine though!

TIL: there is an escape sequence that makes a line wide (\e#6), which Konsole apparently understands

   

Terminals are weird.
I'm having so much fun with this lmao
@nilsding Behaves weird in my Konsole. It renders half the letter until I alt-tab, then it rerenders it properly.
@nilsding Okay so as far as I understand from Wikipedia, \e#3 is supposed to be the top half of the letters, and \e#4 is supposed to be the bottom half (which is why it behaves so weird in your earlier example). I guess Konsole just tries its best to render full letters.
If you repeat the line twice (in a single command, separated with line break), once with \e#3 and once with \e#4, it renders properly.
If you input different lines for the \e#3 and the \e#4 parts, Konsole starts freaking out.
