Description gad.kadosh 2005-04-25 07:53:41 UTC
Opening a new tab in gnome-terminal usually makes a new tab show up but it doesn't draw its contents in real time. That means, when it first shows I get no bash prompt, but if I go back to another tab and come back to the new one I see the prompt. Same is for everything you type in that tab.

It happens almost always (very few times when it doesn't happen). Furthermore, when it happens it's always the second tab. third fourth etc, will always work, as well as the first one.

This happens to me now with gnome-terminal-2.10.0, but also did with gnome-2.8

I can't reproduce this problem, but did some research on the gnome buzilla.

Is this sort of what you are talking about?
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127191

Heres a more specific one that I *think* is what your describing, supposedly its fixed already:
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101089
http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100690

Suggestions to try:
1. changing theme
2. re-emerge gnome-terminal / vte ( probably won't help in your case )
3. Try creating the tab using ctrl-shift-T and from the gui ( was mentioned in one of the bugs i looked at )

see if you still have the problem after that, and repost. Also, take a look at those gnome bugs and see if theres anything useful in them that may help you that you may have left out on this post.  Thanks!
Comment 4 gad.kadosh 2005-05-01 08:44:14 UTC
Thanks. I'm looking at those bugs right now.
All the things you suggested I already tried (and retried just now) but they don't help.
Comment 5 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-21 05:38:46 UTC
did any of those gnome bugs help with the issue?
Comment 6 gad.kadosh 2005-05-21 06:31:49 UTC
No ..... The problem is still there :(
