Bug#301597: libvte4: Pixel-level corruption in terminal when scrolling down

[Erik Meitner]

Package: libvte4
Version: 1:0.11.11-5
Severity: normal


When scrolling a terminal(gnome-terminal for example) display downwards,
corruption of the text occurrs. The corruption leaves short lines, dots 
and partial characters. The slower it is scrolled, the worse the 
corruption becomes. It seems to happen more when the terminal window is 
maximized.

The corruption is fixed by applying this patch to vte-0.11.11:
