gnome-terminal broken in 12.04 on ThinkPad T61 with Nvidia graphics

[Johannes Schmitz]

We are running Gnome 3 on 12.04.
The gnome terminal output is kind of broken. When reaching the last line it somehow begins acting strange.
For example typing ls you don't get any output unless you press Enter again. Lines are overlapping and stuff like that.
Sometimes Ctrl+l helps, sometimes not.
Difficult to describe but the shell is not usable in this state.
I installed an alternative shell (terminator) to circumvent the problem and it seems to be working fine.

Package version is 3.4.1.1-0ubuntu1

Also it affects other applications, for instance emacs (/usr/bin/emacs23-x).
