Title:
  Screen only partially updates

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

Bug description:
  I have had this issue numerous times in gnome-terminal, but it's
  intermittent, can be reproduced but not reliably.

  When fast moving updates are made to the terminal window, sometimes it
  doesn't update at all. I have observed:-

  * Terminal still showing old content (for example when switching from one irc channel to another when using irssi inside gnu screen)
  * Terminal only updating partitally (a percentage of the screen draws (from top to bottom) some of the screen updates and then stops part way down)
  * Square regions of terminal update (a small block might update but the rest of the screen doesn't)

  In most of these I can 'force' an update of the screen (for example in
  irssi/screen I can press CTRL+L to force update). This isn't limited
  to irssi/screen, it can happen if I just start a terminal and run 'ls
  -l'.

  I cannot reproduce the behaviour in xterm.

  It's difficult to get screenshots or photos of this happening because
  when it happens, soon after it will update the screen. Starting apps
  (like screenshot apps) will force the update.
