RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

2. Start gnome-terminal
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-22 06:22:14 UTC 
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
Comment 6 Gordan Bobic 2015-05-11 11:38:10 UTC 
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.
