Description jlquinn 2011-05-23 13:47:51 UTC 
I get intermittent screen corruption in text in gnome-terminal when I run under gnome-shell.  I didn't have this before updating.  Corrupt lines look like text is being shifted vertically and not properly cleaned up, so it's kind of like interlacing artifacts.  Getting the terminal to redraw usually clears it up, e.g. typing ^-L, or scrolling up and then back down again.

I see it under gnome-shell 3.0.0.2 and 3.0.1.  

See attached screen shot.

This is Debian testing x86_64.  Video is an Intel G33 chipset.

Perhaps one screen in 3 gets messed up when printing text to the gnome-terminal.
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2011-05-23 16:23:28 UTC 
Screenshot would be useful, but nothing has changed here in gnome-shell in quite a while, so if it broke on an update, it's a regression in your video driver.

I thought I had attached it.  I'll have to do it tonight.

3.0.0.2 was the first version of gnome-shell I tried.  I had no corruption while running gnome 2.30, with metacity.  So as far as I know, gnome-shell has always had this corruption issue.
