Problem resolved for me by enabling and disabling the ATI drivers. It is a little bit strange though as no other application but dolphins terminal was affected!!
@Thomas K: please try 1. pressing F4 for the terminal to reappear 2. deleting dolphinrc, which you can find in ~/.kde4/share/config/ -- [HARDY KDE4] dolphin terminal view broken after latest stable update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236919 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
