Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Unfortunately this bug is very sporadic, and possibly is traceable to
either of the three.
After a random period the screen containing irssi becomes completely
blue, and text is muddled up. Some times this is fixed with a simple ^L,
but other times it requires disconnecting from the screen, and rejoining
to the screen.
While not easily reproducable, the bug does not seem to occur in any
other popular term emulating software (konsole,aterm,xterm,etc.)
if it resides in screen it is beyond the ubuntu/debian package, because
I have observed the problem in a gnome-terminal running an ssh session
to a freebsd box with screen+irssi.
It exists in breezy and dapper packages of gnome-terminal
