Huh, that's very odd. When did this first start occurring? If you upgraded to oneiric recently, did it occur in previous ubuntu installations?
Do you reproduce this only in gnome-terminal, or do you see it in other applications? Have you tried any other terminal programs such as xterm or terminator? Does the behavior start immediately after booting and launching a terminal, or only after some period of time? When it starts happening does it happen continually or does it come and go? If you create a guest session, are you able to reproduce the problem there? Any other information you can elaborate on to help understand the problem? ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817632 Title: terminal frequently gets corrupted To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/817632/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
