The half-painted line suggests that it's a bug in gnome-terminal/vte, or some component underneath (Gtk+, X, video driver)... No app running inside the terminal, no matter how buggy, should be able to produce such partial lines.
Nikita, how do you scroll exactly? Using the Up/Down or PageUp/PageDown keys, or mouse, touchpad...? Is it only gnome-terminal that you upgraded from Gnome3 staging, or the entire Gnome stack? Any chance you could test whether mainstream Vivid or Wily beta suffers from this bug? The extra black padding at the bottom of the screenshots suggests that the window is maximized or fullscreened. Can you reproduce the bug if you manually resize the terminal to almost as big as this one, but not maximized/fullscreen? Or any other smaller size? (In that case less's status line will be at the bottom of the window.) What's the value of $LESS ? (What I'm interested in is whether 'X' is there, I assume not.) What's the terminal size, as reported by "stty size"? Seems to me it's 150x37, correct? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to less in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1500228 Title: When scrolling back up some of the bottom comes up as a sort of sleeve Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Status in less package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have recently noticed that when viewing a manpage in gnome-terminal that if scrolling down, when I scroll back up again some of the bottom part of the page comes up too sort of like a sleeve. I have attached some example screenshots, so I ran 'man dpkg' and this is what it looked like initially dpkg_man_top1.png, but when I scrolled down to the bottom of the page and then back up again to the top, the top looked somewhat different as you can see: dpkg_man_top2.png. Now, it wouldn't matter where I had scrolled down to, nor where I had gone up to, the effect witnessed would have been the same. --- OS Information: No LSB modules are available.
