Bad visualization with "issues" in Ubuntu

[THeK3nger]

I'm trying this software on Ubuntu 12.04 but this is how issues are shown in standard terminal. I think that is a character encoding problem but I don't know how to fix it.

You're using gnome-terminal? The stray characters look like misintepreted ASNI escape sequences (for colouring)

Do you get the same mess just running "octogit"?

Also, if you run octogit issues | cat - does it look right? (that disables the colouring)

[alexdmejias]

If gnome-terminal is the default, then yes i;m using gnome-terminal. octogit works fine. when running octogit issues | cat the output is
#10 truely responsive images ( a m e j i a s 1 0 1 )

What's the value of $TERM and are your dotfiles public? Do you override $TERM anywhere?

[alexdmejias]

echo $TERM - > xterm.

dont know what you mean by public and by overriding them

I had this issue also few weeks ago. But somehow it worked again after some days.
