Hi

No, its a console bug - the consoles each work differently, or more precisely
they emulate different terminals which have a different set of terminal control
codes.

With konsole, you can set the terminal emulation, which may help.


There are some console commands that select terminal types and line displays
for instance from ee 
echo -e "\\033(U"
there are probably others, never really successful, so didn't really pursue
them

you can try setterm - see man setterm for (extensive) details.

When I lost ncurses, I modified one of my includes to cope - the changes
are summarised here
