** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1115110 Title: NEL character doesn't cause gnome terminal to scroll Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Gnome terminal should interpret ESC E as NEL (0x85) (see the description of "C1 (8-Bit) Control Characters" here: http://www.xfree86.org/current/ctlseqs.html). As I understand it, NEL should be treated pretty much like LF (0x0A). In gnome terminal, if I run "echo -n -e '\eE'" near the top of the window, it prints a blank line, which is good. But if I run it when the shell prompt is already at the bottom of the window, it doesn't print a blank line. This seems wrong. By contrast, "echo -n -e '\n'" always prints a blank line.
