Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.0-1
Severity: important
When I open a new gnome-terminal and run an ncurses app (say, mutt), it renders
just fine.
However, when I then open a fresh tab, and run an ncurses app in that, it
displays garbage.
What kind of garbage seems to depend on the app: mutt and emacs -nw render
their screen
partially offscreen (the bottom half is visible on the top half of the
gnome-terminal window;
the bottom half of the window stays blank); nano goes completely wild.
It seems to be at least partially related to the setting of $TERM to 'xterm'.
If I set it
to some other value (say, 'linux') and rerun mutt, it looks fine; setting it
back to 'xterm'
causes the bad display again.
The other thing that works is to open a new tab, then resize the
gnome-terminal-window; after
that, the screens are rendered fine (regardless of $TERM).
All in all, a weird problem - I'm reporting it against gnome-terminal because
it does not
occur in the first window, only in new tabs, but it could just as well be a
ncurses problem.

Hi all,
This bug is fixed in the above version of libvte4 which just got
uploaded. I've verified both less and mutt are now behaving correctly
in new tabs, so I'm closing these bugs :) Please re-open if you still
experience the problem after upgrading.
Regards,
Vince
