I can verify that the gnome-terminal is receiving MotionNotify events
(which are presumably what make it select full lines when you click-to-
focus past the end of text on a line).

Tested as follows:
In Assitive Technologies keyboard preferences, enable controlling the mouse 
from the keyboard (this doesn't effect the test if you hold the mouse steady).
In one screen, launch xev from a terminal.
Ensure the terminal (not xev) has focus, and move the cursor to the xev window. 
 Here you can wait a few seconds to make it easier to identify the subsequent 
events by timestamp.
Hit Numpad-5, giving xev focus.

On a workstation where I see this problem, this is the sequence of events I see 
on clicking (some of them annotated with coordinates to show that the cursor is 
not moving - always the same location):
EnterNotify root:(1942,65) KeymapNotify FocusIn KeymapNotify LeaveNotify 
root:(1942,65) ButtonPress root:(1942,65) EnterNotify root:(1942,65) 
KeymapNotify MotionNotify root:(1942,65) MotionNotify root:(1942,65) 
ButtonRelease root:(1942,65)
LeaveNotify root:(1942,65)

On a laptop that does not exhibit this problem, this is the sequence of events 
I see (note: no MotionNotify events; also tested without the 
keyboard-controlled mouse here):
EnterNotify KeymapNotify ConfigureNotify FocusIn KeymapNotify ButtonPress 
EnterNotify KeymapNotify ButtonRelease LeaveNotify

Both the problematic workstation and the working laptop are running
10.04 and both are using the "Ambiance" theme.  The working laptop is
using the "intel" driver, with no Xinerama, with "visual effects" set to
"normal", and the problematic workstation has Xinerama enabled with the
nvidia driver (/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so), with "visual
effects" set to "off".
