Intrepid gnome terminal occasionally fails to draw changes

[Ethan Bissett]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Since installing Intrepid on my laptop (fresh install), I have noticed that the gnome-terminal occasionally does not update the display completely leaving either half-lines of text or blocks of the screen left unchanged. I have seen this happen on "htop" and the "man" utility (particularly on the gcc documentation). Oddly I have not seen it in "aptitude". It occurs more frequently if the window is maximized. I have not observed it occur on normal bash activity. It does not occur on the normal xterm from my brief experiments. I am using Monospace 14 for the font but it occurs at other sizes as well.

When the display refresh problem occurs using CTRL-L or clicking on any gnome-terminal menu corrects the display.

Possibly relevant versions:
    gnome-terminal = 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
    libvte9 = 1:0.17.4-0ubuntu1

Video Card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M (rev a1)
Using proprietary nVidia driver rev 177
Display Resolution: 1920x1200

I will post pictures of the corrupt display vs. correct display.

If it is a duplicate, could you mark it as such so I can track the progress of the original?

Click on the wrong thing, for some reason the button decided to add it to the gnome system monitor which is completely unrelated.
