Hi!
I have a weird issue after the last update, some of my yakuake/konsole output gets garbled:
If I type 5 times - , 1 +, 5 more - and + again, that last one gets printed as -, and whatever I type next shows the + but like “above” the +
This issue mangles all my assci tables
My system info:
Operating System: Fedora Linux 44

I can’t replicate this on Manjaro KDE Plasma 6.7.4.
I presume you’re doing this inside a console app and not directly in the terminal? Could it be the app or is it occurring in multiple apps, nano and vim for example?
Hi @smash , thank you for replying!
No, it’s directly in yakuake (bash). I actually noticed because a server I login to shows an ascii table from motd and it was all messed up.
Last night I checked on my miniPC (also F44 KDE, all AMD) and I also could not repoduce it.
I checked every config in the profile on both systems but couldn’t find what’s wrong.
The only difference is the font but I tried several monospaced fonts without a different result.
Later I’ll try installing the same font but it’s really disconcerting.
Heres an image when I login to said server from my notebook, using yakuake or konsole:
Same login from same notebook using qterminal:

Yakuake uses konsole as the backend so fixing konsole should fix yakuake.
I wonder what DPI you’re monitor is? Can you try:
xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolutionxdpyinfo | grep dotsxrdb -query | grep dpi
If it isn’t 96x96 then that’s probably the issue and it should be corrected.
See:
Those numbers are correct, all of them give 96x96.
But I just noiticed that I couldn’t reproduce it with a bigger font.
It only happens with 14pt or less, with 15pt or more it’s all good.
So for now I’ll just stick with 15pt
Well, I did a little more experimentation today and could go back to 14 pt after disabling these 2 options in my konsole profile (sorry it’s all in Spanish, I’m posting the full frame for reference):

What version of Konsole are you using? Your menus are different to mine on 26.08.0. I was going to include an english version of the screenshot you included for people looking for a solution in the future.

Maybe you’re looking at the general Settings page and not the Edit Profile one?
I’m on a fully updated Fedora 44 KDE:
$ rpm -q qt6-qtbase ; rpm -q kf6-frameworkintegration ; rpm -q plasma-desktop ; rpm -q konsole
qt6-qtbase-6.11.1-1.fc44.x86_64
kf6-frameworkintegration-6.29.0-1.fc44.x86_64
plasma-desktop-6.7.4-1.fc44.x86_64
konsole-26.08.0-1.fc44.x86_64
I’s from yakuake: right click → “Edit current profile”
But it’s the same from konsole for me.
