Most terminals have this. That is why you can stop output (Ctl-S) and then continue (Ctl-Q). Not sure this is 1) specific to xfce4-terminal or 2) a bug. Yeah, but sometimes it works. And I'd be very glad if sometimes changed into always. Indeed, not a bug. It's obvious that if you're trying to select text in the console when it's continuously updating it means you're racing the process which is updating it. If you've managed to select text then you've just been lucky. In any case, it's an upstream thing. |
