Comment 9 for bug 99038

I started having this same problem when I upgraded from Hardy to Intrepid. I tend to run into the bug when using vim, especially when searching for text. When I enter a search term and hit enter, nothing changes on the screen (it doesn't redraw). Clicking on the title bar causes the screen to redraw, and display the expected text.

Sometimes I get a partial redraw of the window; this usually occurs wherever the terminal window overlaps (is on top of) another window. The rest of the window doesn't redraw. In any of these cases, hitting Control-L doesn't fix the problem -- it seems to be unaffected by keystrokes or any output from the terminal. Only clicking the title bar consistently redraws the window.
