Hi Shahbaz, Many relevant fixes went into vte-0.34.9, and many others are pending (patches waiting to get accepted by developers) and will hopefully make it to 0.36. Could you please test 0.34.9, or even better, my git tree at https://github.com/egmontkob/vte-0-36-egmont containing these fixes? After compiling vte, you can run the standalone vteapp by typing ./src/vte2_90. I'd be glad to hear whether this bug and your other bug are fixed.

But since my terminal is having other issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1161934 , I thought it maybe related. The problem happens when I issue a `git diff` on my repository. The diff command has no configs and is using the defaults. The output is colored. The issue only happens in maximized terminal windows and only the first time I issue `git diff`. The issue happens with different terminal fonts and sizes. The effect is that once I use page down to reach the bottom of the diff, and then use page up to go back, some lines seemingly randomly (but always the same lines) disappear. If I diff again, this doesn't happen anymore. The issue is repeatable. If I open another terminal, maximize it and do `git diff`, page down to the bottom and then page up again I see the exact same lines missing. Attached, you can see how the initial output is and how it looks after the lines go missing. Unlike my other bug report, the issue is not a drawing issue. The lines actually become empty. Refreshing, scrolling up and then or anything I do doesn't make the lines come back. Again, this could be an issue with `less` as `git diff` gives the output through `less` (I guess). After quitting `less`, the output remains as it is, with the missing lines on the screen. Calling `git diff` again doesn't cause this issue.
