Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 3.3.0-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.3.0-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.3.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://bg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

When gnome-terminal (CTRL+ALT+T) is first maximized (ALT+F10) and then minimized (ALT+F9) it becomes unusable. After ALT-TAB to it it is replaced by a completely white and empty window. The program is still working - CTRL+d closes the window, "touch /tmp/foo.bar" creates a file in /tmp - however the terminal is still unusable because nothing in the window can be seen - it is completely white and text is invisible.

It is possible to restore its contents by resizing the window again (for example with F11 key).
This may possibly be caused by a bug in another package and not by gnome-terminal itself.
