I've seen this problem in Kubuntu with xterms in kde4 just doing ls in a fairly full directory (25 lines of ls output in 4 columns). I'm using Noveau drivers too. My xterm background is white.
Sometimes the text in the top few rows is just gone, and the lost area appears to be a rectangular block below the previous prompt. Sometimes some lower bit of the last missing row is still there. If I scroll again, the lines are fixed, or if I select the area, the correct text appears and remains visible after the selection goes away. I did not see this issue on natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861268 Title: text corruption in terminals (xterm, urxvt) and emacs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/861268/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
