Public bug reported: after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10, the terminal doesn't refresh properly. It's hard to describe, but I can take a video if needed. If I am editing a file with vim, when I jump to the bottom with crtg+G, it doesn't refresh the window. Each line will refresh as I move my cursor up, one line at a time. There are other oddities within the terminal as well. When I use apt-get to install, I sometimes don't see the last line asking me for my password, etc.
