text wrap in terminal stops working

[Derek Chen-Becker]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

After some amount of time, text starts wrapping back over itself (same line). If I cat a file, any text over the width of the terminal is simply truncated. It seems I'm not the only person to have this issue:

I've tried resetting the terminal via the menu option and the bash "reset" command, but nothing fixes the problem other than closing the terminal tab and opening a new terminal tab.

Long line gets truncated when using "cat" on a big file. The first line should be the entire first paragraph from "A Tale of Two Cities".
