Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
The latest upload (2.17.91-0ubuntu1) broke gnome-terminal heavily for me...
I almost always use screen. The problems only seem to occur when I use it. And only when I use the hardstatus feature.
The problem is that every time I fill the screen and it (screen not gnome-terminal) starts to scroll, the screen gets messed up.
To trigger the problem, you need to put the following in your .screenrc:
hardstatus alwayslastline "Houston, we have a problem..."
Then start screen and for instance type ls -l until the screen is filled...

The bug is actually in libvte. Reverting to 1:0.15.2-0ubuntu1 fixes the issue.
