I'm pretty sure by now that this issue has been video-driver or compositor related. After upgrading to Wily and a different NVidea driver, it seems to have disappeared. Prior to that, I noticed lag for several other operations, like scolling in browser windows, with the result being unconsistent until one moved around enough with the mouse or did other operations that might fill some small pipeline to the point of flushing.
So I'm pretty sure that this bug is not actually GNOME terminal related. It may just be that GNOME terminal got more economical with its redrawing/refresh and thus made it more likely to leave the uncompletely flushing rendering pipeline in a state where the visual feedback was not-yet-helpful. Sorry for the noise. ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1460062 Title: Scrollback with Shift-PageUp Shift-PageDown does not refresh screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1460062/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
