On my laptop I've moved to using xfce, with xfce4-terminal, because
xfce lets me expand the mouse cursor and xfce4-terminal gives me a menu
so I can copy and paste (my trackpad works well for "left button", on
browser links tends to "open in new tab" for right button (instead of a
menu of options) and only works poorly for simulating middle button).
From time to time I get two or three blank lines in a term. If I am
able to move the text cursor over them (list of mails in mutt, list
of items in kernel menuconfig) the blank lines reappear.
Sometimes, when I open a term and run a command, its output and the
prompt on the next line (before the '$') are blanked out.
So far, I've found two similar reports, one from someone using Arch
who reverted to rxvt-unicode (which is what I normally use, but is
less than useful without mouse buttons). And no open bugs related
to this. So, before I try to raise a bug: has anyone else seen this
behaviour ? If so, what sort of system, please ? (My laptop is
running BLFS-8.4, and using amdgpu for the Xorg video).
I use xfce and I've never had much problem with konsole. It's a long
build because you need qt and kf5, but it's the best I've found. There
is one minor problem though. The color of the 'handle' portion of the
scrollbar does not have enough contrast in non-plasma environments. I
do have a patch though that customizes that.
I've included the patch below. Customize the colors as desired.
Currently it's light gray, #ccc, and dark gray, #888.
