[Qemu-devel] [BUG] GTK terminal is broken

[Stefan Weil]

Hello,

maybe most developers will already have noticed that the terminal output
in QEMU's GTK user interface is broken. As far as I know, it never worked,
but as there are working alternatives, I did not care much and forgot to
report the issues.

See these snapshots which show the problems with QEMU's GTK terminals:

Here the first line of the QEMUmonitor is only partially visible.
Tested with Cygwin/X on W64 host, QEMU running on Debian Linux.
Other X servers (e.g. native X on Debian Linux) don't show this problem.

This shows crippled output of "help" in the QEMU monitor
(look for "default frequency" at the bottom of the page).
Tested with several X servers.

This shows crippled output in the QEMU serial console.
The Linux kernel boot messages are hardly readable.
Tested with several X servers, x86 and mips kernels,
GTK 2 and GTK 3.
