I upgraded my system to full unstable and the problem persists after a reboot :-\ Then I created a new user and tried with that => problem fixed. Then I created (with my normal user) a new Profile for Gnome Terminal => problem fixed. Then in the old profile switched from the Custom font "Inconsolata" (provided by package fonts-inconsolata) to Monospace => problem fixed. The latter even works "live", that is, if I have the Terminal show the bogus sequence and switch the font, the display is fixed. Same in the other direction. Fun-fact: When I switch the font in kgx to Inconsolata, it shows two e without accent. Best regards Uwe
