It's not related to VIM. I get it very often while using Midnight Command in gnome-terminal and viewing (F3 key) text files. Running MC in other terminals like xterm or konsole does not have such issues. I even tried gnome-terminal in a different window manager (FVWM) to rule out the Gnome desktop. gnome-terminal still cause that garbage. Ctrl-L is a quick work-around to get rid of that garage.
See screenshots for how it looks on my system. ** Attachment added: "console_3.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10842197/console_3.png -- Garbage in gnome-terminal https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159238 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
