Re: [BLUG] How do you like to get rid of terminal corruption?

Since I heard about it, I use reset. I've actually never had that not
work that I can remember.

If it ever doesn't work for me, maybe I'll remember your /dev/urandom trick.

Or maybe I'll do what I used to do: close out the terminal and open a new one.

You're not saying that this happens in ever terminal you open, are you?
