I can confirm what I think is the same bug (but who knows). I cannot reproduce it by resizing the window, but the problem is reproducible with "ls". As jasonq describes, repeatedly using "ls" in gnome-terminal eventually leads to a window that is not correctly redrawn. (To reproduce this, I have to

I think this may well be an nvidia driver bug, for some time now the driver has chosen to handle anti-aliasing for fonts and I suspect this to be the issue, if you use a console with non-AA fonts i.e. xterm I am sure this would not happen. -- terminal output frequently not current or blank https:

I am guessing this has to do with your video driver. I will mark this as New again and someone else who knows more about video issues can hopefully chime in. If the drivers are the issue it isn't Compiz so I am also unmarking that. Do you know if you are using restricted drivers? ** Changed in: ub

Hi, Mike. It seems impossible to construct a testcase regarding this bug. I've been trying to notice a pattern for weeks now.
