Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.18.0-1
Severity: minor
When I have the editor "joe" open my caret is supposed to look like a block:
=====
=====
=====
=====
=====
Now, when I press page up/down in exactly the right moment when the blinking
caret is just about to reappear, it's drawn incomplete for the first
blinking, after going away and coming back it's fine. Sometimes, it'll be
drawn like this:
===== ===== =====
===== or = or = or various other strange shapes.
= =
=== =====
_____ === =====
This is just somewhat irritating and may point to a deeper bug with locking
drawing onto the surface, but who knows. It doesn't seem to happen when just
moving up/down so this seems to indicate that it may be due to the redraw
delay.
This is the first time I've seen this bug, so I guess it's new in 2.18. But
maybe the timing only got different so that it's easier to trigger.
