After update, Remmina SSH terminal, when connecting to some servers (not all), on every command execution or just pressing enter, does line feed without carriage return, wich is very annoying.
Is there something I can do to fix this?
Thanks.
I can’t be of any specific help but have recently been watching some videos on old mini-computers (Usagi Electric, YouTube) and terminals so thought something like this Stackoverflow thread from a few years back might be of interest, from hearing about how line-feeds and carriage-returns are handled.
No idea how much you know about this stuff, but something I should look into further myself anyway.
I have the same issue it started with the last update, did you find anything to cure this ?
Be sure to set the correct terminal keyboard layout.
I can see I need to rephrase this - use the correct vt emulation - that is the translation of control characters.
I cannot say exactly what you need to do - I suggest you look at your configuration files.
The ssh client receives certain chars from the remote and displays them on screen.
If the client does not know that a line feed \n should imply a \r as well then you get the situation you describe.
Remmina is based on GTK - so it may be worth checking if you have both vte3 and vte4 on your system.

Thank you for your response.
I did check for vte3 and vte4 and I have them both installed now but that didn’t change anything, the only new thing that I tested now was that executing remmina from Konsole makes things go back to normal.
Maybe I need a reboot, I’ll do that and report back.
Reporting back : still the same issue after reboot
You do know that konsole can handle a ssh connection library, using SSH Manager plugin, right?
No never knew that, cause ever since I used Remmina for RDP, SSH and VNC + tunneling it made my life easy, so I didn’t look for an alternative.
That makes sense 
In any case - starting remmina from the commandline is causing the behavior to correct itself?
That sounds - hmm - strange?
I use zsh with konsole, I’ll try with another profile that uses bash later maybe it’ll make a difference 
I’m just trying random things here 
I looked into Remmina’s Gitlab and found this issue connect ssh press enter display error (#3173) · Issues · Remmina / Remmina · GitLab
and this SSH: Lines are not aligned (#3168) · Issues · Remmina / Remmina · GitLab
Seems that’s caused by changes in libssh – already fixed, just wait until fixed version v0.11.1 will arrive to stable (currently only in unstable)

Yeah yep updating to libssh v0.11.1-1 on archlinux.org fixed the problem on my machine.
Thank you very much @Tomek
Which would be why I could not reproduce and didn’t see any of this.
