Public bug reported: I know this might not be the very best bug report you'll see here, but I have no means to reproduce the problem now (reinstalled OS), and the overall confusion may lead to the bug not being found for a long time.
OS: Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 After upgrading the gnome desktop using commands mentioned here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/625244/how-to-upgrade-to-the-latest-gnome-version among many problems I encountered, one of the most incapacitating was the terminal glitching out, just like in this tmux issue: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/738 Back then I thought it is due to my configuration (I assign the blame for everything to myself first, because I break things on a daily basis...), so I reinstalled the OS and moved on with my life. After noticing the above issue I thought I might post this here. Others pointed out that it is an issue with displaying UTF-9.0 double cell characters. The above behavior was observed while having things like powerline constantly updating it's row with those special characters. There is a clock section on the powerline, so that is where the 2s time interval might come from. Things to notice: - It doesn't matter what is running inside the terminal. There is no difference between vanilla Bash, zsh, or TMux sessions - all indicate the same behavior. Reopening TMux also didn't change a thing. - SSH sessions made from another machine work perfectly fine. ... which leads me to believe it is a Gnome Terminal bug. Again, sorry for a bug report that doesn't follow the guidelines. ** Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/1659699 Title: Terminal constatly copies last row and adds it, every ~2 seconds Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I know this might not be the very best bug report you'll see here, but I have no means to reproduce the problem now (reinstalled OS), and the overall confusion may lead to the bug not being found for a long time.
