I have found a regression from FC6 in gnome-terminal when using ircii-4.4Z-7.i386.rpm irc client. To reproduce, in gnome-terminal (doesn't matter if full-screen or normal geometry) ssh to some RHEL3ish box with ircii-4.4Z-7 installed (I have that binary unpacked e.g. on devserv in /home/devel/jakub/bin/irc-4.4Z ) and start /home/devel/jakub/bin/irc-4.4Z gttest devserv On the prompt type /join #gttest and then start typing random lines (e.g. 10-20 'a' chars, but anything else will do too). Normally ircii after hitting enter after each line clears the bottom line and you start typing a new line over line filled just with background color (at least in FC6 and earlier it was always doing that). Now in F7 sometimes it will do the same, but sometimes that line just doesn't get cleared, often even the cursor stays where it was (I use a blinking cursor, a inverted box stays where it was before) and a new blinking cursor appears at the beginning of that last line. Now typing a new text overwrites the uncleared characters there. Hitting Ctrl+L to redraw the screen cures this. I have tried to reproduce this also by running the same through 2>&1 | tee foobar and could reproduce it too, unfortunately trying to reproduce it again by ( cat foobar; sleep 10 ) was not successful, clearly this is timing related.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '7'. 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 7'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 7 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. 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. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists. Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008. Fedora 7 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.
