Bug 1411876

I can confirm the existence of this bug -- the window shrinks by precisely one column and one row. The same problem occurs on the X backend if gnome-terminal-server and gnome-terminal are run with GTK_CSD=1.

I will attach a small test program that prints out the window size on each SIGWINCH. Curiously, it appears that during a maximize or unmaximize *multiple* SIGWINCH signals are sent, and the terminal reports unusual sizes in between, e.g.:

$ ./terminal-test 
[2017-02-06 23:17:12]    80 x    24
*maximize*
[2017-02-06 23:17:14]   216 x    64
[2017-02-06 23:17:14]   209 x    61
*unmaximize*
[2017-02-06 23:17:17]    79 x    23
[2017-02-06 23:17:17]    73 x    20
[2017-02-06 23:17:17]    79 x    23
*maximize*
[2017-02-06 23:17:21]   216 x    64
[2017-02-06 23:17:21]   209 x    61
*unmaximize*
[2017-02-06 23:17:24]    78 x    22
[2017-02-06 23:17:24]    72 x    19
[2017-02-06 23:17:24]    78 x    22

On the X backend with GTK_CSD=0, a single SIGWINCH is sent and the terminal sizes are correct:

$ ./terminal-test 
[2017-02-06 23:19:05]    80 x    24
*maximize*
[2017-02-06 23:19:06]   209 x    61
*unmaximize*
[2017-02-06 23:19:07]    80 x    24
*maximize*
[2017-02-06 23:19:08]   209 x    61
*unmaximize*
[2017-02-06 23:19:10]    80 x    24

Ping?

Seems this was also reported last year in bug #1398396. I suspect upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777072 is also the same issue.

What other information can we provide to help get this bug moving?

Polite ping... any news on this?

I see same on Fedora 26 (drag to gnome-shell border to maximize, drag back to unmaximize or use window menu to maximize/unmaximize).

This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Still a problem in F27. I've yet to try it out in F28.

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Since the terminal now runs with CSD, Wayland has reached feature parity with X11 by making sure the bug is present in X11 as well.

Could someone please have a look at this? Who isn't using their terminal and maximizing it now and then?

Is it possible to disable CSD in the new version as a workaround?

Were you able to workaround by running the `dconf` command mentioned in the above issue? I am still facing the issue even with the workaround.

Yup. The workaround works fine for me here. Using:

gnome-terminal-3.32.2-2.fc30.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.32.2-2.fc30.x86_64

*** Bug 1744279 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I think this has been fixed recently. At least I am not facing the issue with following versions:

gnome-terminal-3.34.2-2.fc31.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.34.4-2.fc31.x86_64

I can reproduce it here on X11. On a different machine running Wayland it works though. So it seems to be partially resolved.

The upstream issue is also still open.
