That looks very bizarre, and I've never seen it. My main desktop is
also an x86_64 ubuntu 8.10 box and I use gnome-terminal, and I've
never seen this.

A few questions:

- try temporarily renaming ~/.ipython to something else to force a
clean reinstall of your config settings. If the problem goes away, at
least we'll know it's something config related.

- What locale do you use?

- Does it happen if you try a different font?

- A different terminal (xterm, aterm, rxvt, konsole, ...)?

Cheers,
