This is a really odd one. I tested all keyboard characters and seems to be related to only the Terminus and Apple II fonts.

I tested with all of the packaged fonts using the default Amber profile. Screenshot is from the custom profile I created though.

Edit: Quick side note, problem is definitely intermittent. On a restart of the terminal, it may or may not do this. I also saw it with other characters previously to the capital B. Not even sure how you would debug this.

Well, this is a really strange issue. I personally never experienced it but the Upstream ubuntu-terminal-app has a similar issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1214126). I really don't know how to help you here, but soon I'm going to use another version of the plugin (made by me and much closer to upstream) which might fix the issue.

Yes, it is. I think it might be related to the Terminus font, not entirely sure.

I've added my own fonts here;

and have been using the ProFont without issue for the past few hours now.

Hi @k3mist , since this bug has been reported plenty of things chnaged. Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest master? Moreover, I was planning on adding some new fonts upstream. Are you interested in helping me pushing the changes you made upstream (updated to the latest master and with the font licences)?

I don't see missing chars, but the first keypress after switching input languages (with Caps Lock key) is lost.
