At least with two different terminal emulators, konsole and yakuake, I'm experiencing the phenomenon. After typing a character, it remains concealed by the prompt until I type the next character. I've been googling this for awhile now but either it's a rare issue or I'm using the wrong search terms. I've gone through the settings a couple of times as well. This only happens in terminal windows, not, for example, in text entry windows like this new email message window I'm currently typing into. Also, it doesn't happen in Gnome terminal, only the two listed above. Makes it kind of hard to spell check as you go since you can't see what you've typed till you type the next character... Anyone else have this?

I went to this file: /home/cj/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile renamed the file to Shell.profile.xxx logged out and back in fixed
hope that helps someone down the line
