This bug drives me absolutely crazy. A working terminal is the most important part of my desktop! I haven't seen this issue on my other workstations (Redhat and fedora 16/17), just on both of my ubuntu installs (precise)

I spend the majority of my time in a gnome-terminal SSH'ing into a VM. I run byobu on the VM and switch between Screen windows very frequently. Often, I'll switch Screen windows and the gnome-terminal window will not repaint. A few seconds later, part of the byobu status bar will repaint such that the top two or three pixels of the highlighted window name will become apparent. Sometimes I have to switch back and forth several times to get the gnome-terminal window to repaint. On other occasions, just the leftmost part of the window fails to repaint - the area seems to correspond with the part of the screen where the Unity Launcher would appear.
