Comment 1 James Antill 2002-10-11 10:49:34 EDT

 This seems to be somewhat related, the perl...

perl -e 'print " " x (80 * 32) . "\e[A" x 128'

...will move the cursor off the top of the screen, which shouldn't happen.

Comment 2 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-11-04 01:51:48 EST

Hi James, the current version of vte doesn't appear to crash by
following your steps.  I'm going to close the bug, but if you see the
problem in a recent version of vte, please reopen.
