Description Need Real Name 2003-01-01 06:15:57 EST

Description of problem:
Gnome terminal with transparent background occasionaly (randomly?) shows
black flashing rectangles in the window when entering text at the prompt.
I have also observed this a few times with the solid color default background.
This is on a Dell I7000 laptop with a ATI 3D RAGE LT Pro video card.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-2.1.3-2

How reproducible:
This does not happen all the time. Only 'at random'.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
    
Actual results:

isn't the transparent background inherently irritating? ;-)

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2003-01-03 06:22:27 EST

Only irritating because gnome-terminal performs so badly with transparent
background since RH 8.0 ;-)

Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-11-04 00:41:56 EST

Is this problem still occuring?

Comment 4 Warren Togami 2005-05-28 03:33:04 EDT

Closing due to lack of response.
