The behavior you describe happens when the terminal switches to the so- called "alternate screen" upon encountering a certain escape sequence that is printed by your application. Usually fullscreen applications (such as the "mc" file manager, "less" pager, text editors etc.) use this mode.
If it gets stuck in this mode at your shell prompt, it means that your application did not exit cleanly and left the terminal in this mode. Execute the "reset" command to get out of this situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1566437 Title: Scrolling randomly stops working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1566437/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
