My system is Ubuntu 11.04 with added xubuntu components, running xfce sessions.
Using gnome-terminal, ever since some updates a few days ago, normal
command-line operations scroll only 30 lines even when the window is
twice that high. This leaves the top of the window blank; lines that
would scroll up simply disappear. Curses-based things like less(1)
and vim(1) use the whole screen.
This seems very odd. Since I'm temporarily in a kind of hybrid
condition, I'm not sure I should file a bug or which distro to file it
against. The system is odd but useable, so I'm just looking for fixes
or (non-)confirmation.

Silly question, I know but you do have scrollback set to unlimited?
Cheers,

Assuming you are running bash: is is bash option 'checkwinsize' set?
You can check by running 'shopt -p | checkwin':
if it is not (the output above states mine is set), then you might see
this behaviour.

OK. Definitely not a day to be at the laptop.
shopt -p | grep checkwin
Now I will go drink some beers.
