gnome-terminal, window turns blank (white color) after a while and terminal needs to be restarted

[Silviu C.]

If left minimized for a while, the gnome-terminal window turns white and when I restore it from the launchbar and I can't use it anymore (can't see what I type). I need to restart it.

It can be fixed by right-clicking the window going to Profiles->Profile preferences. The window gets back to its normal colors once the "profile preferences" window comes up.

I still have no clue why it goes all white in the first place.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
