Happens sometimes to me when some characters from a binary file are displayed on the screen as is. Or, some other stty(1) setting. Typing reset/tset(1) or closing-and-/opening another xterm(1) works for me. Xterm i say for that i use most than console.
or ctrl+<button2> in xterm, which pops up a menu, from which you can select "full reset".
