I have the same problem using ubuntu 7.02 with nvidia drivers and when I use Beryl or Compiz, it doesn't matter.

I've found this too, on 7.04 (upgraded from Edgy, upgraded from Dapper), using beryl. Minimizing the terminal window and unminimizing solves it though.

If this is only a broblem for people using beryl or compiz, it seems very likely the fault lies with those, rather than gnome-terminal.

I have the same problem with the Ubuntu 7.10 using the Terminal Emulator GNOME 2.18.2. The terminal worked fine for some weeks. The change occurred without any evident reason. I tried to re-install the software and to modify any possible option allowed to the user through the mouse. It is like to have white characters on a white backgroung.
