This bug is related to xterm AFAICS from subject and not konsole using
TERM=xterm nor TERM=xterm-256color

Could you please test out the latest konsole package with the REP workaround I
had submitted to Factory

 - Temporary add patch konsole-D10064.id25855.diff which is based on
   the Diff 25855 from https://phabricator.kde.org/D10064 for Support
   of ECMA-48 REP (boo#1054448, bsc#1078565, and kde#384620)

if this does not help then you might clone this bug, correct the subject to get
the konsole fixed and not xterm nor ncurses as the last two one are not broken.
Then I'm able to close this but (after removing the bug dependencies)
