Description Anthony Tuel 2007-03-25 19:06:13 UTC

When using gnome-terminal with multiple tabs open, switching back and forth between the tabs causes the window to grow in size.  The window will quicly grow several times larger than the screen is capable of making the terminal unusable.

Found this patch via google search and applied it to the gnome-terminal-2.16.1-28 source obtained from the suse download repository and it corrected the issue.
