Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.7.2-0ubuntu1

This is on Hardy Heron Alpha6, compiz enabled with restricted nVidia drivers. The problem happens both in Twinview mode and single display mode.

Randomly when gnome terminal is the focus or not (it doesn't seem to matter) it will be corrupted. The background will go transparent (even with transparency disabled) and the previous 'frame' will be overwritten with the new fame, causing the display to be corrupted. a CTL-L in the terminal window redraws and fixes the problem. It only seems to happen in scrolled areas; it could actually be a gnome-terminal bug but I've never seen this happen on Hardy with compiz disabled. So go figure.

Attaching a screenshot.
