We have that too ! My favorite way of messing up the screen was: doing: cd _some_large_directory_ typing: ls * expanding the '*' by hitting typing: Then every character typed echos the whole start of line up to this character as: aa...rest_of_line... abab... abcabc... abcdabcd... and so on. The rest of the line is moved correctly as if I had typed twice as many characters as I really hit. But sometimes the screen scrolls up, so I assume the end of the line overruns the lowest rightmost position on the screen. Many users have run into similar behaviours since we switched to 3.0.1 and 3.0.0 does NOT do it.
