Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: screen-profiles

When hitting F2 to create a new terminal window, after accepting the
default name or specifying a custom name, a new terminal is created,
with a leading space on the command line.

This may be the result of a race hazard (ie, my machine is too slow), but this 
also means that the first line is indented.
e.g.

normal shell line is
u...@machine:~$ []

whereas a new window in screen-profiles is
 u...@machine:~$  []

([] is my terminal's character marker thingy)

there's a leading space not only before the username (as it's there
before the terminal draws the PS1), but also then on the command line
once the PS1 is drawn.

Hope that's clear!

Oh, and this doesn't occur when a new window is created the 'normal'
way, ie using ^G-c
