KDE terminal emulator prompt covering last typed character

[Claude Jones]

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?
