Bug#631116: gnome-terminal: keyboard input is super flaky

[Miles Bader]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.0.1-1
Severity: normal


The previous version of gnome-terminal (2.30.x?) worked great, but
upon upgrading to 3.0.1, suddenly keyboard input is so flaky as to
make it all but unusable.

Basically it seems to randomly ignore about 80% of keypresses.  By
very patiently hitting a key over and over, one can eventually enter
that character.  There's no obvious pattern -- sometimes it ignores
keypresses for a long time, other times input suddenly seems to start
working again (though it shortly goes back to the ignoring behavior).

Thanks,

-Miles

keys in gnome-terminal until I had typed "xterm" ... :]
