garbaged terminal
hi everybody.
I did tail -f to a log file having unicode characters my gnome-terminal got garbaged. I am NOT always experiensing this. i want to know is there a key combination ( like ^L ) to make the terminal appear normal. I experienced this only once for now but i was forced to logout and login again which i dont want to do.
thanks a lot.

LOGIN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual LOGIN(3)
NAME
login, logout, logwtmp -- login utility functions (DEPRECATED)
SYNOPSIS
#include <util.h>
void
login(struct utmp *ut);
int
logout(const char *line);
void
logwtmp(const char *line, const char *name, const char *host);
DESCRIPTION
The login(), logout(), and logwtmp() functions are DEPRECATED; use pututxline(3) instead.
These functions operate on the database of current users in /var/run/utmpx and the system log file. Superuser permission is required.
The login() function updates the /var/run/utmpx files with user information contained in ut (after converting to a struct utmpx, as described
in pututxline(3)).
The logout() function removes the entry from /var/run/utmpx corresponding to the device line.
The logwtmp() function adds an entry to the system log file. Since login() will add the appropriate entry during a login, logwtmp() is usu-
ally used for logouts.
RETURN VALUES
logout() returns non-zero if it was able to find and delete an entry for line, and zero if there is no entry for line in /var/run/utmpx.
However, there is no error indication due to lack of permissions.
FILES
/dev/*
/var/run/utmpx
