In terminal, scrolling prints weird characters

Question
I was in an SSH session remotely using vim
. For some reason, SSH crashed, and I was returned to my home shell. However, whenever I tried to scroll, instead of the terminal scrolling, it printed sets of characters. Also, it's hard to reproduce a single set of characters, because every few seconds, it prints different characters. They are always ASCII characters, like `
, ?
, a
, J
, etc.
Toggling the alternate screen does not help, and all my other terminal tabs work fine.
How can I fix this terminal session?
Solution
To fix this, just run the reset
command. It will reinitialize the current terminal.
