xfce4-terminal display corrupted when moving window to different monitor

[Mitch Claborn]

When I move an xfce4-terminal window from one monitor to another, the display text in the window is corrupted. The most frequent symptom is that the lines of output, which usually extend to the bottom of the screen, now only extend to the middle of the screen. E.g. in a 50 line terminal, before moving the window I have output on every line, 1 - 50. After moving the window the output only shows on lines 1 - 25 (approximately). In this case, when I press enter in the terminal, the output returns back to the way it was before I moved the window (with the extra line caused by the Enter key).

In some cases, the output will disappear entirely, although that is rare.

This is highly repeatable in my environment.

Did you update to 18.04 and can still reproduce this bug?

[Mitch Claborn (mitch-news)]

I am still on 16.04 but this is no longer a problem for me. I don't remember when it started working correctly.

Thank you for the quick reply. Closing this report then.
