Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Kind of a heisenbug, as I can't reproduce it reliably, but it's there and happens often. I'm reporting this through the 'report bug' dialog in gnome-terminal, so hopefully there is useful debugging information.
This bug appeared after the last two days updates. (3/13, 3/12)

I see this often too, many times a day. I use IRC via irssi->

I also have this problem... I can reproduce this by placing a window on top of the gnome-terminal (covering a small area of it) and changing the virtual desktop... When I come back to the desktop the gnome-terminal is black, i have to force the redraw (by changing tab, moving, ...)
I'm using transparency in the gnome-terminal and composite is disabled. This occurs with both fglrx and radeon drivers (ATI 9600).

I worked out how to reproduce this, and spoke with seb bacher about it today. He's talking with upstream to get it fixed.

I updated to vte 1:0.16.0-0ubuntu4, stopped all gnome-terminals and spawned a new one, but I still get the issue.
When I switch the virtual desktop out of the gnome-terminal and back again, most of the times it is blank.

thank you for your bug, it's not really useful without a way to trigger it though
