[Bug 892434] [NEW] gnome-terminal output suspends until the return key is pressed.

 

Public bug reported:

Problems is intermittent but frequent. ~ 10-20% depending on the command run.
It also seems to happen with xterm so it may be an xserver problem.

 I did have the terminal in full-screen mode and the problem would occur
about 1 out of 3-5 tests. I clicked the Restore icon to take g-t out of
full-screen mode and the problem went away, regardless of who I
positioned and sized the terminal. I even brought it back to full-screen
mode and tried 10 times to see the problem without success. Then I wrote
this note and tried again and on the 2nd attempt, the hang happened
again. If I switch processes using Alt-Tab or select a g-t menu item
the output is flushed as well. If I move or click the mouse or even
press non-return keys the flush still does not occur.  I opened a new
g-t tab and could reproduce the problem there as well.

Other processes running  (not that this should matter) include document-
viewer and google-chrome-beta.

I was just compiling a trivial app using clang: clang -v -O3 -o
fizzbuzz-clang fizzbuzz.c

That's about it. I might try to reproduce this with the xserver using
nouveau rather than the proprietary Nvidea driver if you thin that would
help.
