For example, after apt-get update reports the list of hits and gets, I can hover over a url in the list with the mouse pointer and the url will fuzzout or whiteout. Definitely a problem with restoring the screen contents after, in this case, showing the url underline and erasing it. I'd suspect gpm, but it was doing this before I installed gpm (actually, re-installed, because the upgrade told me I should let it de-install it). In active command line, it would be updating the line after echoing the input key, I'd guess. > Anybody else seen this?
