Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
I'm using feisty, and since the update to gnome-terminal 2.17.91, I see some very annoying problems when using screen with a status bar at the bottom (so that the scrolling area is not the full terminal display window). To reproduce this: - start screen in a gnome-terminal window ("screen") - after the screen splash screen, set up a status bar: hit CTRL-A : (control A followed by a colon) to get a screen command prompt, and then enter "hardstatus alwayslastline" this should produce an inverted line at the bottom of the screen. - then run a shell command that will produce enough output to cause the screen to scroll, something like clear; for i in $(seq 100); do echo $i; done On my system, this causes the gnome-terminal window to go completely blank, until I press a key, which causes the screen to refresh. Changing the value 100 to 50 in the above command causes slightly different (still broken) behavior -- some of the intermediate output is displayed instead of a blank window, until I enter something, which causes the display to refresh to the correct state. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gnome-terminal has scrolling problems when using screen https://launchpad.net/bugs/85594 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
