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.
