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!
I can not reproduce this bug in Fedora 8 with gnome-terminal-2.18.3-1.fc8. Fedora Core 3 is not maintained anymore if you can reproduce this bug in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8 please reopen this bug.
