Bug Description
Problems is intermittent but frequent. ~ 10-20% depending on the command run.
It also seems to happen with xterm so it may be an xserver problem.
I did have the terminal in full-screen mode and the problem would occur about 1 out of 3-5 tests. I clicked the Restore icon to take g-t out of full-screen mode and the problem went away, regardless of who I positioned and sized the terminal. I even brought it back to full-screen mode and tried 10 times to see the problem without success. Then I wrote this note and tried again and on the 2nd attempt, the hang happened again. If I switch processes using Alt-Tab or select a g-t menu item the output is flushed as well. If I move or click the mouse or even press non-return keys the flush still does not occur. I opened a new g-t tab and could reproduce the problem there as well.
Other processes running (not that this should matter) include document-viewer and google-chrome-beta.
I was just compiling a trivial app using clang: clang -v -O3 -o fizzbuzz-clang fizzbuzz.c
That's about it. I might try to reproduce this with the xserver using nouveau rather than the proprietary Nvidea driver if you thin that would help.
