Problem with terminal line wrapping

[Ed Robbins]

I'm having a problem with line wrapping in SuSe 9.2 and I'm hoping 
someone can help me out.
When using a terminal window like konsole or vte, I'm having a problem 
with line wrapping.  If I paste text that is longer than the terminal is 
wide, it wraps back onto the same line, as if it isn't doing a line feed.

I can temporarily correct it by doing something like stty cols 132, but 
that only lasts as long as I don't resize the window.  I've been looking 
in termcap, inputrc and others for some clues as to how to fix it but I 
haven't come up with anything yet.

Any ideas or possible fixes?

Thanks.
