Bugzilla – Bug 211443
gnome-terminal unexpectedly resizes itself after a third tab is created
Last modified: 2009-09-21 19:01:43 UTC
After creating the third tab in a gnome-terminal window the window resizes itself larger. All subsequent new tabs also trigger window resizing (still larger). Additionally, after the third tab, all tab switching events trigger similar window resizing. Behavior is as expected when only 2 tabs exist.
Unable to replicate in alpha5plus with gnome-terminal 2.16.1-5
This still happens to me and with 2 tabs. You may try replicating with a different font. I'm using "DejaVu Sans Mono". When I switched to "Monospace" it seemed to stop happening.

-> Beta 1
JP, it is important, that one resizes the terminal at least once. After that the behavior is as described in the initial report.
Yes, can replicate it now. Could this be bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335200 ?
Gave the patch attached to the upstream bug a whirl but unfortunately it did not help.
I tested CVS and can't replicate the problem, so the fix is in there somewhere.
My mistake, its still there. Filed: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=368349
Mysteriously solved without changes for package gnome-terminal? I can not reproduce this with Beta 1 plus.
Actually, it still happens for newly created users with vanilla home directories. -> Beta 1 plus
Does it go away if you alter the default profile?
(In reply to comment #12) > Does it go away if you alter the default profile? Yes, but only on subsequent runs of gnome-terminal. Without touching the default profile the bug remains. Tested with Beta2 Plus.
This bug still exists, unfortunately have filed another bug report. It exists under x86_64 SuSE 10.2 RC1 as described in bug #223817
This bug is still present in the final release and it is very annoying indeed.
Once you have 3 tabs open, just clicking on a tab makes the window get bigger. Another tab, bigger. Bigger bigger bigger until it gets bigger than the screen. Then it gets bigger than viewport. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338913 I nominate this one for a Yast patch. It is still in 10.2 release.
Re-assigning for maintenace update.

Created attachment 120868 [details] r2082 from upstream which fixes this bug I'd be great to push this out as an update.
Submitted the patch for STABLE and for GNOME:STABLE and GNOME:UNSTABLE Build Service projects. Test package for 10.2 placed to http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/bug211443/
I can confirm the 2.16.1-40.1 versions seems to fix it. Thanks.
Andreas. Can you provide a SWAMP? This bug is really irritating: After each switching of tabs terminal gets larger and larger.
