Bug#525507: gnome-terminal shifts the last line to the right if it's updated twice in a row.

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.3-3
Severity: normal

  When the last line of a gnome-terminal is updated twice in a row,
once with a shorter string and once with a longer string, both
displayed flush-right, the second string is displayed at the same
starting location as the first one and truncated to the length of
the window.

  For instance, the attached program prints "0%" and then "50%" in the
lower-right hand corner of the terminal.  It works correctly in the
Linux console and in xterm, but gnome-terminal displays "50" instead of
"50%".

  See #455220 for a manifestation of this in the real world.
