Public bug reported: I'm not entirely sure how to reproduce the bug but I'm reporting it anyway because it is annoying.
It appears to be a refresh problem but it doesn't seem to happen all the time and it seems to happen at random. When the shell is in this refresh problem state, all I have to do is run "top" and then quit from top. Normally, I should be placed back at the prompt and I'm ready to go again. However, during this time, the cursor moves to where the prompt should be and I see it blinking but the screen has not refreshed. I can press enter and the prompt will show up, but typing a command and pressing enter does nothing. I tried to take a screen shot but pressing "print screen" also refreshes the shell.
