Thanks for your bugreport. A little more info is needed to proceed with it: 
wish shell (bash, zsh, ..) are you using (if you dont know, it will be bash, 
see above) and which version of the shell and of Debian are you using?

I've lowered the severity as clearly not everybody is affected. Also you can 
workaround by pressing "strg" and "l" if this happens again.


regards,
	Holger
