Description Josh Triplett 2011-02-10 03:59:37 UTC 
When changing the text size (such as by hitting ctrl-plus or
ctrl-minus), gnome-terminal flashes as it redraws.  This occurs
regardless of whether the terminal uses a black or white background
color.  Ideally, gnome-terminal should perform the redraw atomically,
going directly from the rendering with smaller text to the rendering
with larger text.

Note that gnome-terminal does not flash when the window size changes, or
when clearing the screen, only when changing the text size.

Same as bug 606655 ? Please also try with latest vte 0.27.x.

Probably, yes.  Didn't find that one when looking for existing bugs.

I'll see what I can do.  Debian experimental seems to have 0.27.4, so I'll try upgrading to that at some point.

Following up on this, it seems fixed with current gnome-terminal and vte.
