Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.56.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
selecting more than the visible window resets if input arrives, regardless if reset scroll state
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void main() {
for (int i=0; i<1000; i++) printf("quick line %i\n", i);
for (int i=0; 1<2; i++) {
printf("slow line %i\n", i);
sleep(1);
}
}
running the above makes impossible to select quick lines 700 to 800.... :)
* What was the outcome of this action?
selection resets...
* What outcome did you expect instead?
selection works...
