Comment 3 Tomáš Bžatek 2012-07-11 14:46:15 UTC

Hmm, works for me with gnome-terminal-2.32.1 and vte-0.28.2, will check on other systems.

Comment 4 Miroslav Franc 2012-07-11 15:07:58 UTC

Since this is a bug for RHEL6, I suggest to check on latest RHEL6. :)

It's still broken.

gnome-terminal-2.31.3-7.el6.i686
vte-0.25.1-7.el6.i686
