I tried installing some old libraries and binaries from Yakkety but even with that I couldn't reproduce it in Ubuntu 17.04. I don't have any more Yakkety systems to test on. I also can't reproduce it in 16.04.2 LTS in Windows 10. I don't think any DOSBox changes could have changed this either. So I'm a bit mystified here. Sorry about wasting your time.

When the screen or a region scrolls up by one line, empty areas of the screen in the newly visible line show the default white background of gnome-terminal. If I remove the bce capability from the Terminfo for that terminal type, the problem goes away. This workaround involves: "infocmp xterm-256color > xt.ti" to get the Terminfo data in text format. Editing xt.ti and removing "bce, " on the 3rd line "tic xt.ti" to compile this text to Terminfo again. Without sudo that ends up in ~/.terminfo, overriding the system's entry, and with sudo it would overwrite the system's Terminfo entry for that terminal type. Another workaround would be to use a different terminal type without bce, like TERM=screen, but removing bce is better because that leaves other capabilities intact.
