Description Brad 2003-11-14 21:06:37 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031030 Epiphany/1.0.4

Description of problem:
When opening a new tab with File-New Tab-Default or Shift-Ctl-T the
screen background goes black. The application still works OK though.
If I Alt-Tab to another application (or select another application
from the Panel) and then go back again, the gnome-terminal screen is
white again.

I am unsure, but this may have something to do with my video card
setup. However this is exactly the same hardware that I was using with
RH9 and I had no problems with it. RH9 version of gt was 2.2.1-3.

I will attach a scrren dump to this report.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.4.0.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See description

Video card: nVidia FX5600
Screen res: 1280 x 1024

Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2004-02-10 11:03:18 UTC 
I'm seeing this too, on every piece of HW I've tried (including
Savage, ATI Radeon and Nvidia graphics cards) so I doubt it has much
to do with that. Occurs when launching new gnome-terminal and then
typically on second or third tab the background remains black.
