Steps to reproduce
(a) I ssh to a buildserver from gnome-terminal with multiple open tabs in an instance of gnome-termial.
(b) attach/reattach to Gnu-screen on remote server.
(c) Start compilation, which produces a load of text (i try to compile openwrt).
(d) Sometimes the tab containg gnu-screen of the remote server stops updating the screen, this anamoly is only local to the tab in question.
(e) I try to close all other remaining tabs, to get a strace.
(f) You can see gnome-terminal catching up with output being shown on screen (which was attached to
by sshing from xterm from example) when it is the only tab that is left in the gnome-terminal instance.
(g) gnome-terminal starts functioning "normally".
When the tab hangs, creating a new tab, sshing to the buildserver and then reattaching to Gnu-screen
shows "expected output" in the same instance of gnome-terminal (when you dont close all the remaining tabs,as mentioned above).
This happens about once or twice a day,will try reproducing the same without sshing into a remote machine, when i get time.
