[Bug 1500228] Re: When scrolling back up some of the bottom comes up as a sort of sleeve

 

The half-painted line suggests that it's a bug in gnome-terminal/vte, or
some component underneath (Gtk+, X, video driver)... No app running
inside the terminal, no matter how buggy, should be able to produce such
partial lines.

Nikita, how do you scroll exactly? Using the Up/Down or PageUp/PageDown
keys, or mouse, touchpad...?

Is it only gnome-terminal that you upgraded from Gnome3 staging, or the
entire Gnome stack? Any chance you could test whether mainstream Vivid
or Wily beta suffers from this bug?

The extra black padding at the bottom of the screenshots suggests that
the window is maximized or fullscreened. Can you reproduce the bug if
you manually resize the terminal to almost as big as this one, but not
maximized/fullscreen? Or any other smaller size? (In that case less's
status line will be at the bottom of the window.)

What's the value of $LESS ? (What I'm interested in is whether 'X' is
there, I assume not.)

What's the terminal size, as reported by "stty size"? Seems to me it's
150x37, correct?

Title:
  When scrolling back up some of the bottom comes up as a sort of sleeve

Bug description:
  I have recently noticed that when viewing a manpage in gnome-terminal
  that if scrolling down, when I scroll back up again some of the bottom
  part of the page comes up too sort of like a sleeve. I have attached
  some example screenshots, so I ran 'man dpkg' and this is what it
  looked like initially dpkg_man_top1.png, but when I scrolled down to
  the bottom of the page and then back up again to the top, the top
  looked somewhat different as you can see: dpkg_man_top2.png. Now, it
  wouldn't matter where I had scrolled down to, nor where I had gone up
  to, the effect witnessed would have been the same.
