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

 

This is still occurring: Dec 15, 2011.
It seems to occur more easily (or perhaps only) with the setting:
nvidia Xserver Settings
  Power Mizer 
     Preferred Mode: Adaptive

Title:
  gnome-terminal output suspends until the return key is pressed.

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
