Comment 47 for bug 152648

I noticed a similar problem using 8.04, when in a terminal and pushing a down arrow when at the bottom, or left when at the left edge of the characters.
I had recently installed a wacom tablet, and having had trouble with "pad" before decided to take this out of my xorg.conf
And it solved the issue, I don't know wheat the pad input does, am sure I can live without it
