Description of problem: If tabs were present and a sessions is saved on exit, on next login gnome-terminal with tabs collapses to default size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.1.4-1 vte-0.10.10-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a gnome-terminal window 2. Add a tab 3. Resize to 80x30 4. Log off, mark checkbox to save current setup 5. Log in Actual results: gnome-terminal starts to small size Expected results: gnome-terminal restored as it was Additional info: On a slow box you can see that windows with tabs in them start to their requested (bigger) sizes, but then they resize themseves to small size!
This is probably fairly painful to fix... most likely the same reason that you can cause funky resize issues by switching tabs between tabs with different fonts, etc. Will move to gnome.org (I own the bug there too though, yay me)
For the record, this is still a problem in gnome-terminal-2.2.2-1 ... without tabs we're ok on restoring, with tabs it actually appares to size it down after restoring properly. -Ali
Upstream bug was: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142366 and is fixed as of gnome-terminal-2.7.2: 2004-05-10 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez <msuarezalvarez.ar> * src/terminal-window.c(terminal_window_set_active): move the call to update_copy_sensitivity to after the call to terminal_window_set_size. Otherwise new tabs resize the window to the default 80x24 size. See bug #142366.
