Description gnome 2002-10-04 19:55:21 UTC 
sometimes the terminal-emulations _display_ is incorrect and does not
match the internal buffer.

Reproduce:

disable background-image or transparency and go to a
linux-kernel-source in a 80x24 gnome-terminal

- make menuconfig

- type [?]: to get the help-text for 'Code maturity level options'

- type [page down]: parts of the old text stay on the
  gnome-terminal-display in the lower part.

- shade/unshade the terminal: this makes gnome-terminal redraw it's
  display -- the display is correct again proving that 
  a) it's libzvts fault
  b) the internal buffer of libzvt is correct.

This bug had been reportet for gnome-1.4 libzvt over a year ago.

This is because vt_erase_chars (called on 'CSI <PS> X') does not mark
the line as dirty, so it does not get redrawn.

Closing libzvt bugs since it's not actively maintained or used by anything in
the desktop these days. If you still have similar problems as the one filed here
with recent versions of gnome-terminal, please report it against vte, the new
terminal widget.
