text disappears when scrolling

Closed this issue · 1 comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
simply scrolling text, say a large ls command output, will now and then without 
a pattern, make about two thirds of the upper part of the text to disappear, to 
appear later randomly. 

2.
I don't know how to explain how to make the text disappear (get erased, 
deleted, blank, whatever you understand the fact). But now that I added a 
second head (monitor) (under arch linux, xmonad), when I move the mouse from 
outside to the inside of the head that has the terminator open (with the 
aforementioned text not seeable) , it will re-render , refresh, etc., and 
become seeable again, until a couple of keystrokes later which by simple scroll 
will part of the text become invisible again. 

3.
Since I discovered the problem, being a long time terminator user, I updated 
terminator, but the problem persists. I moved to gnome-terminal to my dismay 
for a couple of weeks. Now I tried termiantor again, and it happens what I 
stated in 2.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect scrolling text, I get disappearing upper part  of the screen text, and 
reappearin randomly, and disappearing again more randomly. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
terminator 0.97
$ uname -a
Linux anacoluto 3.12.8-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 16 09:46:30 CET 2014 i686 
GNU/Linux


thanks
best regards
