Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xterm

Since I upgrade to maverick from lucid I have seen extremely annoying
font corruption while typing which makes unpossible to read what I'm
currently writing. It looks like some extra lines are drawn on top of
the glyphs. But if I do SHIFT-PageUp and SHIFT-PageDown to refresh the
screen, the corruption is gone and the text looks perfect again.

I had to switch using gnome-terminal because of this bug. But I really
would prefer using xterm.

This problem doesn't seem to be computer nor settings specific. I have
seen the problem with my two different maverick laptops, Samsung X120
and Dell E5410. Also I have seen it with pristine user settings. And
both with default and finnish locale.
