Anything new here ? I'm still seeing random character on my terminal from time to time and it is really confusing sometimes. My actual version is: gnome-terminal-2.29.6-3.fc13.x86_64 Need at least a screenshot or something at least. I'm not a chiromancer (yet) :). Created attachment 396506 [details]
gnome-terminal snapshot with incorrect characters
Ok - so here is something for your prophecy :)
I cannot really 'enforce' this behavior - so I could only take the picture when I notice some letter is wrong in terminal. The first XExpose event - i.e. refresh/redraw of that area with wrong text fixes the problem.
In fact - the problem could be character rendering in Xlib - as I start to assume your gnome-terminal has just one buffer for string rendering - and recently I've noticed 'similar' behavior in my own text editor (fte) - I've though it could be bug in my editor's code (as I've been changing some refresh/expose routines inside the editor) - but in fact it looks quite similar - refresh of text editor's window fixes the problem in the same way as for gnome-terminal.
So maybe after all the bug could be moved to Xlib - but I'm not sure about this yet.

gnome-terminal after refresh with correct character
Correct letters after moving window over wrong characters to force windows area refresh.
Quite possibly an X driver bug. What driver are you using? Please reassign to the component for the driver. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle. Changing version to '13'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
