This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Hi, 


this problem still persist. Also when you drag to resize window its working but then when yum set some Terminal window size it shrinks again. I dont see this bug in gnome. 

Thanks
Marek

It also only seems to affect gnome-terminal from gnome 3.x. I have switched to using mate-terminal from the Gnome 2.0 Mate fork and that works fine. So the bug is in Gnome 3, not in KDE.
Comment 7 Debarshi Ray 2020-02-11 15:20:58 UTC 
Are you still seeing this bug?
Comment 8 Debarshi Ray 2020-02-12 13:36:04 UTC 
RHEL 7 is approaching its Extended Life Cycle Support phase. Given the non-critical nature of this bug (there's always Konsole for KDE), it's not fit for RHEL 7 anymore, and KDE isn't part of RHEL 8.
Comment 9 RHEL Program Management 2020-02-12 13:36:12 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by using your Red Hat support channels, who will make certain  the issue receives the proper prioritization with product and development management.

This no longer happens with current versions of KDE and gnome-terminal.

Thanks for the confirmation.
