Description Francesco Montorsi 2006-04-30 22:20:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In konsole 1.6.2, if I do

cat GLASS.utf8

(I attach the file here - it comes from pango 1.13.0 examples' folder), and then try to scroll the console, a lot of blocks remain printed in the rightmost section of the console window... it's difficult to explain but if you try that command and try to scroll, you'll immediately realize ;)

Strange indeed.

Comment 4 Robert Knight 2006-08-07 18:25:57 UTC

Konsole was not repainting some parts of the screen when scrolling.

Fixed in KDE 4 as a by-product of using a double-buffered display.

Comment 5 Kurt Hindenburg 2006-08-07 18:51:34 UTC

Robert, it would be nice if this could be fixed in the KDE 3.5.x branch.  Do you have any ideas?

Comment 6 Arkadiusz Miskiewicz 2008-01-21 14:44:17 UTC

3.5 fix/workaround would be very nice to see.

wget http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt
cat UTF-8-demo.txt

and then scrolling gets me such nasty konsole window:

(and can't switch to kde4; even some developers say that most of people should stick to kde3.5 for now)

Re-opening pending a fix in KDE 3.5.x 

> (and can't switch to kde4; even some developers say that most of people should stick to kde3.5 for now) 

You can run KDE 4 applications in a KDE 3 session.  I would recommend doing for Konsole at least if the option is available.

Comment 8 Jekyll Wu 2011-07-20 18:03:39 UTC

KDE3.x is long gone. Should this be closed?

Comment 9 Francesco Montorsi 2011-07-20 19:03:27 UTC

I didn't test on any recent KDE build. Before closing the bug maybe somebody can confirm that on latest Konsole build, the problem doesn't appear anymore when running:

cat GLASS.utf8

Just my 2cents!
Francesco

Comment 10 Kurt Hindenburg 2011-07-21 13:52:58 UTC

I can't reproduce in KDE 4.x.
