sakura doesn't show these problems.

Interestingly a new user neither. But I couldn't figure out which config is
involved. Removing ~/.config/xfce4/ didn't solve the problem and there is no
~/.Xdefaults file. And even more confusing, after changing a single setting
in xfce4-terminal the problem also shows up with the new user. And it
persists, even after removing ~/.config/xfce4/ and rebooting. So there must
be another config involved that is created by xfce4-terminal. Any
suggestions which file that could be? Does changing any setting lead to the
same problem on your system?

Both bash and dash show these symptoms.
