Bug#975687: xterm: loses text lines, even descenders from some lines
Thomas Dickey dixit:
>"Recently" could be something overlooked in #362's change
No, 362 is the current one, and I definitely had this in
the previous version shipped in Debian as well, but I can’t
narrow it down further than that. According to apt history
log, that was 361.

Hmmh. It’s a regular X11 BDF/PCF font, so at least the
ugly fontconfig/freetype/… combination doesn’t affect
this, but as such you indeed won’t be able to see this
on a Macintosh.
Since I can _somewhat_ reproduce this (three “sudo true”
in quick succession did it right now), I could try to
bisect releases until I find one, if that helps?
