[opensuse] how is bash scrambling typed user commands?

Since the new install of opensuse 12.3, there are times when commands entered into xterm windows are scrambled or trashed thus: Entered: "ifdown wlan9" Echoed: "iwanolw fdn9" (sans quotes, of course.) I am absolutely certain it is not merely echoing what I entered. This occurs most often when command is entered immediately after the window receives focus and when there is a delay before the command is echoed by the shell. This also occurs in konsole and mlterm but with less frequency. It has also happened a couple times entering urls in qupzilla and firefox. Any idea what is going on here?
