Package: libvte9 Version: 1:0.24.3-2 Severity: important As can be seen in the attached screenshot, I see text misrendered with what looks like lines or dots over the text. This occurs less frequently with kernel 2.6.37 than it does with 2.6.38-rc6, and Ctrl-L used to help more often (it always used to fix the problem; it only sometimes does now). It happens frequently in mutt, but I've seen it in aptitude as well; it's mostly (although I'm not sure if exclusively) in programs using ncurses.
This problem occurs in gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, and evilvte. I do use compiz and normally a transparent background, although mutt always uses a black background, and disabling the transparency does not help. If you need more information, please let me know. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-rc6-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libvte9 depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.32.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.10.2-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.4-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.1-1+b1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libncurses5 5.7+20100313-5 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-3 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libvte-common 1:0.24.3-2 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.4.1-5 X11 client-side library libvte9 recommends no packages. libvte9 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
