Description of problem: This problem is one of those buried deep in bug 122815; it might be the cause of bug 128375 and others, but I haven't examined them. I hope providing a minimal, easily reproducible testcase will allow focusing on this single issue for this bug report... TERM=xterm by default in gnome-terminal, but gnome-terminal doesn't implement the "indn" and "rin" control sequences in xterm's terminfo entry. This can lead to display corruption. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ncurses-5.4-13 gnome-terminal-2.7.3-1 vte-0.11.11-6 Steps to Reproduce: $ gcc nctest2.c -lncurses $ ./a.out [test string is at line 10, like it should...] press any key [test string is still at line 10, should be at line 20...] press any key to exit Similarly when compiling with -DUP, except that the role of lines 10 and 20 is reversed.

Silly me... it is already fixed in rawhide (vte-0.11.11-15). Sorry for the spam. Let me just note that having that as a FC3 update would be really nice.
