GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 96954
'CSI <xx> P' behavior
Last modified: 2005-01-06 11:23:00 UTC
This problem is mentioned in Bug #56912 for gnome 1.x and applies to libzvt-2 too. It can leads to "wrong" display, please see above bug. The problem is caused by the behavior of 'CSI<xx>P' (Delete xx chars). libzvt copies the last character on the line to the freed places, other terminals seem to fill the freed characters with the current attributes.

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.
