Good try I was thinking along these lines.  This problem only seems to arise 
in the KDE Konsole.  It seems to me that since I get the 'A' and not the 'B' 
I have somehow managed to use some strange character set where 
the order of characters is aAbBcC... Is that possible?

On any of the virtual consoles I get the correct behaviour.  Further more
