When I use a root terminal I can't type a dot as in 1.2

Installation on my PC: Debian 12 / Xfce

My problem is as a user the Xfce terminal works perfectly but as soon as I become root I can't type a dot (.) like in .bashrc or in 1.2. When I want to use the (.) key, nothing happens.

I have exactly the same problem if I use an SSH connection to connect to the PC: As a user it's okay, but as root I can't type 1.2.

What could be wrong with my installation? I don't even know where to start looking for a solution.

PS: The root ls -a command can display a dot, root cannot.
