Bug 353103 – [gnome-overlay] x11-terms/gnome-terminal-2.33.4 shrinks window 1x1 character each time switching tab

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Delan Azabani 2011-01-29 00:30:45 UTC]

The gnome-terminal from the gnome overlay introduces a bug where if you have multiple tabs switching between them when the window is not maximised shrinks the window by 1x1 character.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a window (do not maximise)
2. open another tab
3. switch between tabs repeatedly

Actual Results:  
As tabs switch, window gets smaller by 1x1 character each time.

Expected Results:  
No window shrinking should occur.

This is an upstream bug in a development version of gnome-terminal. We'll follow it upstream instead of here. Thanks for reporting.
