Bug Description
Hello,
I am using Ubuntu 18.10 and since the last update, I am unable to write ~ and ^ chars in the terminal, in both gnome-terminal and Geany (both using libvte2.91).
I don't have this issue with other applications (terminator, xterm, Firefox, Gedit, etc.). But note that now, when I type ^ for the first time in Gedit for example, I see this char but underlined. If I type it a second type (or press space), it is transformed in ^ without line under it. This is a new behaviour that can cause this bug in libvte.
Please tell me if I need to join other info!
Thanks!
