I have been consistently having problems with ros tools in both Gentoo
and Ubuntu. If I am using tab-completion (where it gives options
allowing you to tab-complete to the full file) with command-line apps
(such as roslaunch rosrun, etc) that wraps to the next line, the text
gets garbled.
I can fix this by making my window the full length of the desktop,
preventing line-wraps from occurring.
