Public bug reported: It seems that if you leave a text-mode terminal alone for some time, it will go into a power-saving mode of some sort. I don't know how to otherwise describe it, so here are two pictures that show what I mean:
http://thingmajig.org/tmp/strange_0.jpg - normal text-mode terminal http://thingmajig.org/tmp/strange_1.jpg - the same terminal after being left alone for a while, missing grey, blue and purple (note: the screen _does_ go fully blank after some time) Dapper simply blanked the entire screen instead of doing this, and I feel it's much better and less awkward that way. I actually don't know whether this is a bug, or a feature, or a change in default settings, but either way, I believe that this is worth looking at. ** Affects: Ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: It seems that if you leave a text-mode terminal alone for some time, it will go into a power-saving mode of some sort.
