Public bug reported:

Easiest way to see this is to list directories  using 'ls' with more than 30 files.  Using gnome-terminal, the last 29 lines of stdout are correctly printed.  The first lines are replaced entirely by whitespace.
Using Xterm does not show this problem - all files are listed.
Unity is in use as my desktop under Ubuntu 11.10.

I have also seen this problem with 'diff'.  If too many lines are
output, the first few are replaced by whitespace.

I made a slight change to the default gnome-terminal profile, to set the
scroll back lines to 5120.  I do not know whether this problem occurred
before altering the profile.  I have however since set this back to the
default 512.
