I'm pretty sure by now that this issue has been video-driver or
compositor related.  After upgrading to Wily and a different NVidea
driver, it seems to have disappeared.  Prior to that, I noticed lag for
several other operations, like scolling in browser windows, with the
result being unconsistent until one moved around enough with the mouse
or did other operations that might fill some small pipeline to the point
of flushing.

So I'm pretty sure that this bug is not actually GNOME terminal related.
It may just be that GNOME terminal got more economical with its
redrawing/refresh and thus made it more likely to leave the uncompletely
flushing rendering pipeline in a state where the visual feedback was
not-yet-helpful.

Sorry for the noise.

Title:
  Scrollback with Shift-PageUp Shift-PageDown does not refresh screen

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I am often using Scrollback in GNOME-Terminal.  The current version
  forgets to refresh the screen timely afterwards.  For one thing, it
  means that one is wildly pressing Shift-PageUp Shift-PageDown too
  often and it is hard to find things.

  For another, when trying to highlight material with the mouse, the
  refresh happens after the highlighting completes so the highlighted
  material is on a different page than the material you _imagined_ to be
  highlighting.

  Very annoying.  Basically, you have to remember to do an extra click
  or keypress or whatever in order to trigger the screen refresh before
  you can do anything serious.
