Well I think you must be nuts too, since I've used iTerm continuously for several years now and never have seen that. :) On the other hand, iTerm is very slow, especially after using it for a couple of hours generating scroll-back history.
Well I am nuts, but that's beside the point. ;-)
Leopard's Terminal.app is nicer now than it used to be, but the default page-up, page-down handling still makes it a no go for me. Scrollback in a terminal emulator should be shift-pageup and shift-pagedown, leaving the normal keystrokes for the app to process. There's nothing quite as annoying as editing some large file in an editor on terminal.app, and wanting to go up a page, only to have it scroll the buffer instead.
True, but it's fixable. Honestly, that had slipped my mind because I fixed it once and then forgot about it. I had to change a slew of settings in iTerm to get it the way I liked it too, so it's a fair shake. Plus, I'm convinced iTerm's configuration dialogs were designed by drunk monkeys.
Don't get me wrong, I love iTerm. I would have most certainly gone insane without it on Tiger. As it was I only most probably went insane. But as with so many other OSS or otherwise programs that I love, I recognize its warts for what they are and I don't hold punches.
