Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-01-14 13:01:11 UTC
Description of problem:
I opened a gnome-terminal and some 8 tabs in it, when I opened the last tab their size was something like 70x14 (not 80x24). Resizing each individual tab to its 80x24 size doesn't help (much), other (already resized) tabs shrink when I do that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-terminal-2.33.4-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
Tried with two  gnome-terminals, same results

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open several tabs in a gnome-terminal
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Tiny tabs

Expected results:
Normal size tabs

I have the same problem. I can add more information:

this happens every time you switch focus for a tab. So in Horst's example because he opened extra tabs each open caused a focus change. But if you continue to switch tabs, doesn't matter how - keyboard shortcut, clicking the tab title, they reduce in size. I think the reduction is by 1 row and 1 column (even though it doesn't fit with Horst's example above).

It isn't related to the window manager (happens without a window manager running in fact)

doesn't happen if gnome-terminal is maximized.

doesn't happen if you have a single tab (ok, not very enlightening).

Comment 2 Alon Levy 2011-01-16 22:59:15 UTC
This no longer happens with version 2.33.4 of gnome-terminal.

Comment 3 Horst H. von Brand 2011-01-18 14:37:33 UTC
gnome-terminal-2.33.4-2.fc15.x86_64 under xfce4-4.8.0-1.fc15 here. It does still happen.

Comment 4 Horst H. von Brand 2011-01-21 16:29:24 UTC
Now running:

gnome-terminal-2.33.4-2.fc15.x86_64
gnome-shell-2.91.5-3.fc15.x86_64

gnome-terminals work fine here.

Horst, are you saying this bug can be completed?

> Horst, are you saying this bug can be completed?

Sorry, Gnome is completely dead for me right now.

Running gnome-terminal under XFCE gives all sort of resizing weirdness

Start: 80x24 ~~-> 32x24, click on lower frame ~~-> 31x2

gnome-terminal-2.33.5-3.fc15.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.8.1-2.fc16.x86_64

Comment 7 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-13 01:17:15 UTC
Just tried in 15 alpha on x86_64, updated for today. I installed Gnome, XFCE and LXDE. For some strange reason, Terminal (XFCE) shows up twice in the menu. Terminal works fine under Gnome shell, gnome-terminal started from a Terminal shows the weirdness noted in comment 6.

gnome-terminal-2.33.90-1.fc15.x86_64
xfce4-session-4.8.1-3.fc15.x86_64

Comment 8 Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-16 21:52:39 UTC
This is the same as the other bug I reported for this.
