I have a machine running Rocky 9.1. I have configured VNC as a service as described in the documentation. I connect to the VNC server using a VNC viewer from CentOS7.9. I open a number of gnome terminals to use for software development. When I do certain things, the terminals get messed up and fail to display the text correctly. Particularly using left-arrow to edit a previous command in bash seems to trigger this, but that may not be the only way to hit it. An example of how the text is messed up is that the first time I hit left-arrow nothing appears to happen. Subsequently the cursor position moves one to the left with each left-arrow. But if I type a character and hit enter, it is inserted one character to the left of where the cursor indicated.

Once the window is in this state, other things work incorrectly too. For example, running "ls" will print the file listing but the window will not finish scrolling to the last line and the following prompt will not display. Hitting an extra "enter" will cause the window to finish scolling and the missing prompt to display along with the extra prompt from the "enter".

Has anyone else seen this? Anyone have any suggestions on how to diagnose or fix this? I described the above with respect to gnome-terminal but xterm if anything is worse.
