Public bug reported: To reproduce:
0) open gnome-terminal 1) Open a profile *without* transparent background. ie a solid colour background 2) position a firefox window or something with a lot of white beneath the majority of the gnome-terminal 3) hit enter enough times to reach the bottom. This should 'clear' the state of whether it shows transparent background or not 4) > clear to clear the terminal and present a prompt at the top 5) notice that the screen is unreadable as gnome-terminal has somehow 100% transparent background. See screenshot.
