Public bug reported:
I'm not sure if this is indeed a terminal bug, a `git` bug, a `less` bug
or else. But since my terminal is having other issues:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1161934 ,
I thought it maybe related.
The problem happens when I issue a `git diff` on my repository. The diff
command has no configs and is using the defaults. The output is colored.
The issue only happens in maximized terminal windows and only the first
time I issue `git diff`. The issue happens with different terminal fonts
and sizes.
The effect is that once I use page down to reach the bottom of the diff,
and then use page up to go back, some lines seemingly randomly (but
always the same lines) disappear. If I diff again, this doesn't happen
anymore.
The issue is repeatable. If I open another terminal, maximize it and do
`git diff`, page down to the bottom and then page up again I see the
exact same lines missing. Attached, you can see how the initial output
is and how it looks after the lines go missing.
Unlike my other bug report, the issue is not a drawing issue. The lines
actually become empty. Refreshing, scrolling up and then or anything I
do doesn't make the lines come back. Again, this could be an issue with
`less` as `git diff` gives the output through `less` (I guess). After
quitting `less`, the output remains as it is, with the missing lines on
the screen. Calling `git diff` again doesn't cause this issue.
