Hi everyone! Hope you’re all having a nice life! 
I’m having this situation with text shown in konsole, here’s a screenshot:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried changing fonts; default is hack, regular, 9. I tried with: monospace, normal, 9. but didn’t work. Thanks in advance for your answers.
Apart from your image rather unreadable, what is your issue. Sinply saying there is an issue isn’t verilluminating.
Font to small? Lack of CR/LF?
Please, a good problem description has three things: what do you do (that is clear, I assume, using the konsole application and typing text in it), what did you expect to happen and what happened instead.
BTW, we have a place to upload images: https://susepaste.org
Choose Image upper right and let never expire. Post the URL of the page (not of the image).
Sorry, forgot to mention that this only happens when I use the **up **arrow to search history. Otherwise, it works just fine.

Maybe you found the image unreadable because that’s exactly the issue I’m having. I chose to post the screenshot because I wasn’t sure how to describe my issue, sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for your reply and for sharing that link.
What happens? Sorry, I still do not know what the issue is. What should I look at. What is different from what you expect. Please describe more detailed what you do and what you then see that you think should be different.
Is it the lousy background end should it be black characters on white terminal? What, what, what?

Sorry, you’re right.
What I do:
Use the UP arrow key to access a previous command in shell history in konsole.
What I expect:
When using the UP arrow key to access a previous command in shell history in konsole, some long strings are displayed correctly.
What actually happens:
When using the UP arrow key to access a previous command in shell history in konsole, some long strings aren’t displayed correctly.
Seems konsole isn’t displaying new lines properly.
It is of course difficult to know what is a |long" string, but I haven’t the problem with this one. I used the Up Arrow to get the second invocation:
henk@boven:~> this is a very long line of text and it is still longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and very very ver long
Als 'this' geen typefout is dan kunt u command-not-found gebruiken om het pakket op te sporen dat het bevat, zoals deze:
cnf this
henk@boven:~> this is a very long line of text and it is still longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and very very ver long line
My trial above is to find out if we think the same on what to do to replicate the problem.
Then, possibly, it’s the keyboard …
The package “xev” should have been pulled in by the package “xorg-x11” which should have been pulled in by the package “patterns-base-x11” …
I copied/pasted your “long string” in konsole, then I used the **UP **arrow key and this is what I get :
onger and longer and very very ver longof text and it is still longer and longer and longer and lo this is a very long line of text and it is still longer and longer and longer and longer and longer and very very ver long
Prompt and part of the “long string” disappears. I’ll try another terminal and see if the problem still occurs with it. Thanks for your help.
Looking at this system, the keycode values for the arrow keys are as follows:
Yup. I tried in xfce4-terminal and it happens too. So, it’s not a konsole thing but rather some other setting creating this behavior.
Where can I check that here?
I found what was causing this, I installed powerline and add this to .bashrc
if -f /usr/share/powerline/shell/powerline.sh ]; then
powerline-daemon -q
POWERLINE_BASH_CONTINUATION=1
POWERLINE_BASH_SELECT=1
source /usr/share/powerline/shell/powerline.sh
fi
I use this in Debian too in konsole and don’t have this problem. I commented those lines and the problem went away. Still, I’d like to use it, is there a way to use and avoid that from happening?
I fixed it. Thing’s I copied/pasted from my Debian’s .bashrc file but had to change the path since openSUSE’s a bit different, the one I found first was [FONT=monospace][FONT=monospace]/usr/share/powerline/shell/powerline.sh but that’s wrong, I took a second look at /usr/share/powerline and the right one is [FONT=monospace]/usr/share/powerline/bash/powerline.sh after changing that in .bashrc [/FONT]now it works as expected to. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for all your help[/FONT]

P.S: How do I change back - as it was at the start and before using the bold font - the font or whatever in a post instead of this “typewriter” or whatever? Thanks. [/FONT]
Konsole window –
> xev -event keyboard
Installation from where?
Did you read the openSUSE notes in the packages “doc/packages/” directory?
sudo zypper in powerline
No, I didn’t read that, but will do. Thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it, just needed to change the path in .bashrc since I used the wrong one at first. From my previous post #13
