A `reset' should fix it.

I've seen this happen while using terminal emulation, and resetting the emulation software cleans it up. Of course, rebooting will fix it as well.

I just wondered if anyone knew a handy-dandy command to fix this short of a reboot. Rebooting seems so... un-UN*X...

Use 'reset' or 'echo -e '\033c'. That should reset everything for you. -M - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

Thanks, Glenn -o) Hubert Mantel Goodbye, dots... /\\ _\_v

Press <ctrl><v> <ctrl><o> <ENTER> With this sequence you switch back to the default font. I think meanwhile "reset" will do that for you, also. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
