From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: I create a text file, foo. The text file contains the lines "teh trukey jmpus oevr teh cwo" in different forms. I run the command: % ispell foo At first, everything is right and proper, but after completing a check of the first line or so, text redraws over itself or appears in odd locations, making it impossible to perform the check with any context. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.50.5-3.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a text file that contains some mispelled words. 2. Start gnome terminal and check the file using ispell. 3. Complete checking more than one line of the file. Actual Results: After checking the first line or so, things didn't look right. Expected Results: There should not be any screen corruption. Additional info: This might be a problem with gnome-terminal and/or vte? It doesn't happen in an xterm or on console.
This is a known gnome-terminal xterm-emulation bug. (see bug 134300) Setting TERM=gnome is a temporary workaround.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
