Having loaded Ubuntu 18.04 in my brand new Dell Inspiron 5000 series and sorting through heaps of problems, I now find some letters seem to overwrite each other. For example, the letter "m" overwrites the letter "o" hence the command "remove" does not work. When I watch carefully, it appears the cursor does not move the required space to clear the "m" or "w". Any ideas appreciated.

Check the settings of your terminal. Make sure you use a monospaced font. With a proportional font, the text may be unreadable, although it should still work otherwise.
