Something diffferent about the terminal

Wheneever I do a 'sudo apt-get autoremove' I always get a bunch of random spaces and new lines in the terminal, that I never had before.

john@john-laptop ~ $ sudo apt-get autoremove

Have you tried to select any text that may be in that blank space? Perhaps its the same color as the background.

Nope, it's just a bunch of blank space. It does the same thing with 'sudo apt-get autoclean' as well.

EDIT: Sometimes it has less line breaks.

For instance:

john@john-laptop ~ $ sudo apt-get autoremove

To me it looks like your enter/return key is sending more than one signal. Have you by any chance spilt anything into the keyboard lately? Ubuntu Cola perhaps?

Try running

xev

in a terminal, then hit the enter key. It should only list one KeyPress event and one KeyRelease event.
