Bug Description

Hello, I am using HP NX7010 with Turkish Q keyboard Layout and most of the things work flawlessly except one strange issue I encountered today within Dapper Drake 6.06 with Gnome

* I open up a console (gnome-terminal) , and type Turkish letters it works fine

* Then I type "man tail" and I see manual page for tail command. But at a point I see some strange letters (-f parameter)

* Finally I quit from man page and drop back to console. I see my turkish letters are displayed incorrectly.

This happens only within that console's context. If I close it and reopen it everything works fine. I know that this is a very minor issue. Nevertheless I still see some benefit in posting it here

Is this with gnome-terminal (i.e. are you running Gnome? ) Thanks for reporting this.

Yes I am running Gnome. And this happens within the Gnome-Terminal. And it always happens. Though I also have kubuntu-desktop installed. But I do not think it has anything to do with this.

Also I suspect this bug occurs not only Turkish keyboard but most foreign keyboards.

Also say when I type "man date", at a point in the man pages displayed text is like broken as below

-rfc-3339TIMESPEC
              output date and time in RFC 3339 format. TIMESPEC=‘date’, ‘sec‐

So probably man itself is breaking the keyboard layout. But as told when I re-open the gnome-terminal everything works normal
