Public bug reported:

When I attempted to push the up button on the keyboard while apport was
running, the text ^[[A^[[A^[[A appeared. When the command was done, the
new line collided with the "^[[A^[[A^[[A" text.

pushing the up button made it even worse, as the history being displayed
ended up as a garbled mess.

Only after writing a new command with a new line was the issue resolved,
though the garbled text is still in the terminal until I clear the
terminal and restart.
