Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vim
The installed gvim application was running fine under Jaunty (on an IBM
T30). Now, having upgraded to Karmic (but booted into 2.6.28-14 - owing
to consistent failure to boot to 2.6.31-14 documented elsewhere), the
application opens showing an initial screen on which all text is
corrupted and wholly unreadable. On entering insert mode, all text
entered text is displayed in corrupt fashion. If the gvim window is
minimised and then subsequently recovered, any text is rendered readable
... any new text inserted is unreadable until such time as the window
undergoes another minimise/maximise cycle.
The fault isn't, AFAICT, related to the font selected in the window -
the same behaviour is exhibited irrespective of the selected font.
The attached screen shot shows the state of the app after some text had
been entered, a minimise/maximise cycle undergone, followed by further
text entry.
