Blank screen

Blank screen

(sorry, I've deleted a previous post attributing the problem to the coexistence of geany and lilyterm, that was not true).

I've identified one regularity: the problem only happens when the launched lilyterm window is completely contained inside the bounding rectangle of the window which was on top at the moment lilyterm was launched. The easiest way to reproduce this is to open one window, maximize it and then launch lilyterm. The instance of lilyterm so launched starts empty, showing only a cursor.

I tested this with the default configuration.

Also, the blank window tab title shows the "current dir" color:

Here is some additional info. When compiled with make full, I get the following log when the terminal starts blank:

[carlos@netbook src]$ ./lilyterm_dev

Instead, there are more lines when the terminal starts fine, here are the additional ones:

I know this bug for several years.
I have no idea why it happens.
It appears even on a tiny version of vte.c. (http://www.calno.com/evilvte/demo.c)

I think it is a bug in the libvte upstream.
