That's a good question. I really only use gnome-terminal as a matter of course, but this afternoon I spent a few hours
experimenting with xterm.

I was running 1 gnome-terminal and 3 xterms, with all 4 logged into the same remote host, and all 4 connected to the
screen running irssi (using screen -x multiple clients can watch the same screen).

During all that time I only saw the bug happen once, and it happened in the gnome-terminal.

That's not very conclusive evidence really.

One thing though - all 4 windows were the same size, and so were presumably receiving the same characters from the remote
host - all 4 windows were 'in sync' until the gnome-terminal started to go wrong.

I will continue to investigate tomorrow - maybe with an eterm and a konsole as well. What other terminal emulators are
there I could try?
