What version of synaptic and what distro and what version of the
distro do you use? I tink I have not seen that on debian and ubuntu
yet. Any special settings that I should know about when trying to
reproduce? Setting the TERM from inside synaptic for the build-in vte
terminal is simpke. But I would like to understand the issue a bit
better first.
Cheers,
