Bug Description

I have noticed that on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 that often when I execute a command although the cursor goes to the right place and still blinks as it should the output is not shown until I press Enter once more:

    gnome-terminal_16-04_Execute_Shown_Output_Issue.png

I have also noticed that often when clicking and dragging to select text though when I copy and paste it somewhere else I can see that all the text was really selected, it doesn't show all the text to be selected (it is normally much more extreme with many more lines missing the highlighting than shown here though):

I have also noticed that if I select text but then move my mouse the other way some of the text doesn't get unselected as it should:

Don't let the fact that the screenshots are from my Ubuntu (Unity) 16.04 VM confuse you though, the same happens on my GNOME one, I just had my Unity one open at the time when I wanted to take the sreenshots.
