I do not get this behavior on Fedora KDE / Konsole.

If the input line length is going to be limited I would expect that characters beyond the length limit would appear on the next line, not the same line, so that my earlier typing would still be visible.

The input line above works (String s has the correct contents), but the input display is unexpected.
