Hi,

I had the same problem, but fixed it by changing the $TERM variable from 
xterm-256color to konsole-256color in Konsole (I don't know why it is set that 
way in the first place).

To change it, you need to edit your profile files (in ~/.local/share/konsole) 
and add `Environment=TERM=konsole-256color` to the `[General]` section.

Best,
