Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
After upgrading to Feisty (7.04) I began having problems with gnome-
terminal's display becoming corrupted. It is conceivable that this is
instead a problem with my X server, but given that no other application
or terminal has been exhibiting similar problems I expect it is probably
something particular to how gnome-terminal is written. The most
frequent problem is that when returning to a gnome-terminal window after
switching virtual desktops there will be graphical garbage in terminal
window. In particular the garbage often takes the form of bits of
graphics that were being displayed by other software on other virtual
desktops. Sometimes the graphics even comes from software that is no
longer running, so I suspect that somehow gnome-terminal is reusing
video memory but not properly clearing it first. I will also frequently
run into problems when loading a large text file with less, and text
will become overwritten with other text when scrolling, or black blocks
of inverted text.
I just spent a few minutes trying to reproduce the problem in a way that
so that I could obtain a screenshot, but did not succeed. I'll try to
amend this bug report as soon as I can capture something.
My graphics chipset is
ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M6 LY [Radeon Mobility 9000]
and I'm using the "radeon" driver module.
