Using the DO web-based terminal interface, I will frequently run into a situation where what I type is displayed incorrectly on the screen. There does not appear to be any way to recover from this, other than turning the droplet off and on again.
When I type “a”, returned will be “^[a”, which is unrecognizable.
This is the same problem as described here:
However I’m getting this very frequently. Once every day or two, I have to turn off my droplet to force a new login.
This problem is persistent over multiple devices, since they share the same login instance (if I’m using correct terminology).
How can I fix this? Thanks.
