Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Release: intrepid
Occasionally the gnome-terminal screen does not update after pressing
the enter or return key, regardless of the application running (eg,
bash, mutt, python).
This may be the same as or related to bug #279993 (Display bug in
terminal with "cd" and "ls" in quick succession) but reported here as
the behaviour is observed in more than just the shell.
The bug usually manifests itself, as in the above bug, as the display
failing to update after a command is entered into an interactive console
session, such as bash or python. A further keypress updates the screen.
Just now it occurred to me using mutt: I press enter to select a message
and the screen did not update. Entering another keystroke did cause the
screen to update, but as that message was smaller than the screen, the
previous screen (the message list) was still showing at the bottom.
Switching to another window and back caused the screen to be updated,
and so I cannot attach a screenshot.
I am using compiz with custom settings (and don't want to turn it off
because I lose my settings and don't know how to get them back).
I too am using nvidia driver.
Nothing relevant in .xsession-errors.
