Package: terminator
Version: 0.98-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

(emailing manually as bugreport program seems to require local MTA)

   * What led up to the situation?

I was using terminator to run the test suite for my nodejs project and
noticed that the output looked incorrect.
At first I thought this was a problem with my test suite then with mocha,
the testing tool, but
as I investigated further I found that the problem did not occur when using
other terminal emulators or
when redirecting output to a file.

I have documented the problem I encountered as best I could here:
https://github.com/jacobq/mocha-spec-reporter-line-omission-bug-demo

Feel free to contact me <jac...@gmail.com> if you have questions or have
trouble reproducing the problem.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective
     (or ineffective)?

I tried resetting my preferences to terminator's defaults, changing the
font+size, and closing/reopening it.
BTW, I am using OpenBox as my window manager, though I do not think this
matters and have not tested in others.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The problem remained: some of the output lines of the program were not
displayed in the terminal.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected terminator to show the same output as other terminal emulators
and the same content as when the program's output is directed to a file
instead.

-Jacob
