I'm seeing this bug, and I see it in Konsole, not just gnome-terminal. It makes the terminals nearly unusable. Also note these other bugs that are duplicates: bug #876055 and bug #880695. It also isn't limited to ubuntu: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-November/407928.html Just google "gnome-terminal repaint" and you'll see a lot of posts.
This has been reported enough that I'd say there's definitely a problem with terminals and nvidia drivers. All of these bugs show no activity whatsoever, but it's clearly a widespread problem that needs attention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888666 Title: terminal doesn't refresh properly with nvidia-current drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/888666/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
