Is it just me (Linux Mint 14) or does a lot of this just not work? Dropdowns don't drop and they stay on the screen after `clear` or input scroll, right click is broken, scrolling doesn't always stick to the bottom, you can't select text or middle click to paste (my keyboard doesn't even have insert), ps aux, htop, and a few other things break it, arrow keys don't work over SSH. Then there are missing features like tabs, hiding the menu bar, spawning new terminals in the current directory, settings that do more than color scheme, etc.

About the only thing that does work is the autocomplete, which is certainly nice, but not nice enough that I'm going to give up on a ton of functionality I've gotten used to.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the work you're doing and don't want to discourage you, the terminal is certainly due for a rework, and this is a huge step in the right direction. If more of the features on your website were implemented/worked I would be very tempted to make a permanent switch, but I spend 8 hours a day in a terminal window, everything needs to just work.
