It's quirky to be sure but it does work. I think the thing that derails most people when trying to report bugs is the point where it attempts to search for existing bugs before you create a new bug report. I search all possible reports first and then skip the part where bugzilla would check for duplicates. In your case, I selected search, and within search, I chose... Classification => Fedora Product => Fedora Component => xterm A Comment => screen draw Status => All of them and clicked search and got only two reports, neither which would appear similar to your problem so you could probably just go ahead and skip duplicate check part. If you don't report it on bugzilla, you can't reasonably expect that someone will fix the problem.
