Description Steven Hardy 2011-02-22 16:47:48 UTC

Description of problem:

Resizing gnome-terminal windows when there are supplementary gnome-panels can lead to the resize being irreversible, since the boundary of the panel is not respected in the resize logic.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
GNOME Terminal 2.31.3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure GNOME desktop with a main panel, at top of screen
2.Configure additional panels, at bottom or sides (right click top panel, "New Panel")
3.Start a gnome-terminal window
4.Move gnome-terminal window to top of screen, adjacent to the top panel
5.Resize the gnome-terminal such that the mouse pulls the window past the edge of the screen
6. Observe that the resize leaves the boundary of the gnome-terminal window underneath the supplementary panel (same problem with bottom or either side)
  
Actual results:

Window resize doesn't respect panel dimensions

Expected results:

Window resize should respect panel dimensions, like most other applications do.

This more a general issue, I can reproduce this behaviour with any kind of resizable window.

As a workaround, you can either maximize and un-maximize the window, it could restore its size to be fully visible. Alternatively, move the window to negative Y coordinates, by Alt+<left mouse button> dragging.
