scrolling -- incorrect updates when window partially hidden
Submitted by ppe..@..mpg.de
Description
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: 1.2.1 Synopsis: scrolling -- incorrect updates when window partially hidden Class: sw-bug
Distribution: Redhat 6.2 System: Linux 2.2.16 i686 unknown C library: glibc-2.1.3-15 C compiler: egcs-2.91.66 glib: 1.2.8 GTK+: 1.2.8 ORBit: ORBit 0.5.3 gnome-libs: gnome-libs 1.2.4 libxml: 1.8.9 gnome-print: gnome-print-0.20-0_helix_1 gnome-core: gnome-core 1.2.1
Description: When another window is in front of the gnome-terminal and the gnome-terminal is scrolling, then the output is not correctly updated. Doesn't happen with 'xterm'. Similar bugs appear when the application in the terminal uses curses.
Example: (1) run the follwing in a gnome-terminal: while true; do echo 'a test is a test is a test is a test is a test is a test is a test' usleep 100 done
Note: the short sleep is necessary!
(2) create another window. Hide with the frame of the second window about one half of the last two lines of the scrolling text. Note how the error depends on covering a letter, not a space, in the scrolling text.
