Comment #53 is also reproducible for me, on openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4 and an ATI Radeon card and driver. Run xterm, "ls -l" of a large directory, scroll back a couple of times, and you see some lines missing.
The workaround: KDE control center -> Desktop effects -> Advanced -> Compositing type. Set the value to Xrender instead of OpenGL. The setting is stored in $HOME/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
