I'm relatively new to BSD and this place so hopefully I'm in the right place.
I've been experiencing a strange issue with BSD. Basically, in the terminal while I'm typing a command or using a simple editor like vi or ee, random strings will suddenly appear in the console or the file editor. It is frustrating because, often one is editing a .conf file and if a random string sneaks in, it jacks up the file if I don't catch it. It's very random and might look like anything ---and sometimes it "sticks" meaning I'll be typing and suddenly the carrot starts running away with random characters, *dddddddsdfsdf~~sfsdekeasdf~ (a fake example.)
Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I've pretty much got a fresh install ---I'm slowly making my way through the os documentation.
Thanks for the help,
