I managed to track this down to a particular option in weechat, eat_newline_glitch. The problem occurs when there are lines that are _exactly_ as long as the terminal width. Here is the script:

But I'll dig in a little more. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1869769 Title: gnome-terminal regularly becomes corrupted Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I regularly run weechat inside gnome-terminal, and it routinely becomes corrupted. It's hard to say whether this is a gnome-terminal bug, but I've seen it on different machines. The problem is perhaps best shown through a screenshot (attached). You can see the statusbar in the second to last row incorrectly contains the words "I would" that were displayed elsewhere in the terminal but weechat at some point. Normal usage of weechat results in tabs that have corruption in other rows, but I wasn't readily able to find an example with non-sensitive information.
