Comment 7 for bug 888666

I'm seeing this bug, and I see it in Konsole, not just gnome-terminal. It makes the terminals nearly unusable. Also note these other bugs that are duplicates: bug #876055 and bug #880695. It also isn't limited to ubuntu: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/users/2011-November/407928.html Just google "gnome-terminal repaint" and you'll see a lot of posts.

This has been reported enough that I'd say there's definitely a problem with terminals and nvidia drivers. All of these bugs show no activity whatsoever, but it's clearly a widespread problem that needs attention.
