I think the same thing occurs when I run some script that prints messages in color (e.g emerge -up world) and then pipe it through less, like this:
| Code: | | $emerge -up world | less |
.
(Now, as I tried to do it and paste the example here, it works great. No strange characters....Hmm....I remember however that it caused problems before.... BTW, it's cool that the new portage-2.0.45-r3 shows installed version too, next to the new version that program will be updated to  .)

Probably a terminal problem depending on the settings or software you're using to ssh into your box.
I'm using SecureCRT set to vt100 w/ANSI color. Using a different terminal emulation such as ANSI, vt52, etc could be the problem. In any case a bit more about your software and shell with any enviroment edits would be helpful.

You're going to have to be a little more explicit than that.
1. What's your client, version, OS?
2. What is your servers version, non standard setting?
3. What is the terminal setting of your client? Lines and collumns?
4. What is the shell of the login account?
5. Any edits to .bashrc .bash_profile assuming bash shell?
6. Also assuming bash shell, what is the output of the command "set"?

| The terminal type settings for putty are in the connection pane of the setup window, . I just tried messing around with that and ANSI and vt52 caused problems like you describe. Try setting that to vt100, or xterm. Both of those work fine for me. |

| ah ok turns out it was hidden when connected...anyways its set to "xterm"...maybe this is a problem with screen? the twin problem occured only 2 times out of 10 when NOT using screen, and simply failed or messed up the terminal with weird chars when using it...makes me wonder...(echoing $TERM when using screen gives "screen" which might be the culprit, i havent found a way to change it though, its not in /etc/screenrc, and exporting it to "xterm" made it erm change itself right after) |
