Do you have something strange in $HOME/.inputrc or /etc/inputrc?  gdb
uses the readline library for interactive input and those are the config
files it reads at startup.  If you do have either or both of them try
temporarily moving/renaming them away and see if the problem goes away. 
It is a little strange that this wouldn't happen in other apps though,
because e.g. bash also uses readline.
