It would also appear that this is a regression error from previous work done.
Browsing a little more, I have found this sequence of bugs dating back quite some time...

I'm a relatively novice Linux user, and I don't know a thing about XTerm, vte, vtl, vi, vim, ACM or other *nix flavours.

However, if I understand this right,
 * Ubuntu is supposed to be for the "Rest of us",
 * We have to learn to use the terminal (or Bash) to get anything done,
 * It would appear that basic navigation in said terminal is not stable.

This doesn't leave a good impression. Sorry if I sound ungrateful, that's not the intent.
I just want to point out that most users would not take the time to wade through all this.
