Originally there was no variable TERM specified. Also tried TERM=xterm.

I found a method to resolve this problem. I created a script file in
/etc/profile.d and added: export TERM=xterm-256color. I first tried to add this
to /var/lib/AccountsService/users/michael but it was always removed.

The workaround does not fix the root cause of the problem. There is a default
setting for the variable TERM that is ignored. This is a problem. The TERM
setting in the user's .profile is ignored. This is a problem. The TERM
setting in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/michael is always removed. This is a
problem. Circumvention of a problem does not fix the problem it only allows
you to function properly until the problem is fixed. It would be best to fix
the problem so others do not have this issue.
