Description Todd A. Fisher 2005-01-20 06:24:37 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
basically, whenever I want to scroll back up to check the value of a very long
processs, as I scroll up and down through the terminal window the text becomes
broken and unreadable. 
an example of the problem can be viewed here:
http://severna.homeip.net/messed-up-gnome-terminal.png

The problem can be solved by selecting text in the terminal window.  It seems
like the terminal is not performing enough redraws.  Like maybe if there was a
forced redraw after the scroll bar stops moving this problem would at least be
of a burden.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
