I can confirm the problem on 11.10 32-bit. I'm running gnome-session- fallback, without the overlay scrollbars.
Hardware: Acer Aspire laptop, Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00 GHz. Display: Mobile IntelĀ® GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2. I usually have 3 or 4 tabs open, with unlimited scrolling enabled. It gets slower over time, but it's still about 2 seconds to start the very first tab. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850649 Title: gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/850649/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
