pink square tan demo

If I hoover the mouse pointer over the word "tan" konsole produces a strange
pink square.  I've not noticed it do this for any other word and I've not d=
own
anything that makes "tan" special (such as search).  It doesn't work for "t=
a"
and it doesn't work for the string "tan" inside another string (eg stan and
tango are normal). It respects certain white space so " tan " " tan(" ")tan"
"*tan" both produce the square but "stan" doesn't.

I can only presume this is some feature I'm unaware of gone wrong but what =
it
is I've no idea.
