Subject: gnome-terminal: Opening Tabs resizes terminal window, closing tabs shrinks it

Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 17:48:06 +0100

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.22.0-1
Severity: normal

gnome-terminal has some resizing problems when opening and
closing tabs.

1. Open terminal window
-> 80x24 terminal
2. Open Tab
-> Whole window shrinks in height in spite of the fact
   that the tab bar is no added, so the terminal size
   is now 79x21
3. Close Tab
-> terminal keeps 79x21, whole windows shrinks, because
   tab bar disappears
4. Open Tab
-> terminal is now 78x18, whole window shrinks
5. Close Tab
-> terminal keeps 78x18, tab bar disap.
6. Open Tab
-> keeps 78x18, tab bar added
and so on

Terminal size doesn't go down under 78x18. The closing tab things
works as expected (keeps terminal size and remove tab bar).

Maybe it has something todo with the gnome libs, some 2.22 libs still
aren't available on sid amd64. If so, I would suggest to set 'harder'
dependencies.

I updated a lenny machine (i386) today and here gnome-terminal 2.22.0
works as expected.

This behaviour dissapears completely if I disable the new metacity
compositing_manager.

So, if i do a
"gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true"
the problem exists, if i do
"gconftool-2 -s --type bool /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
false"
the problem is gone.

Hi,

This certainly is a very weird bug, unfortunately I can't reproduce it. 

Can you provide a dump of your gnome-terminal configuration by running
"gconftool-2 -a /apps/gnome-terminal/global" and 
"gconftool-2 -a /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default"
(if you are using anything other than the default profile, you need to
change the last command).

It might also be helpful if you could provide the bash prompt (echo
$PS1) or other customisations to your shell.

I'll attach my .bashrc and my .bash_profile, but i think they aren't
very helpful, because
they contain no real customization (only enabled /etc/bash_completion)

forwarded 472672 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528304
thanks

Thanks for providing the gnome-terminal configuration and the
bashrc/bash_profile files.

I haven't been able to reproduce the bug (possibly because I'm on i386?)
so I opened an upstream bug instead.
