Gnome terminal is wrong size (rows)

[CaptSaltyJack]

I have explicitly set the gnome terminal to be 80x24, yet it opens a window that is 80x22. I have to set my window size to 80x26 in order to get 80x24.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This appears related to whether the menu is show by default or not, and only affects the first instance of the terminal. Subsequent terminal instances open at the correct size, regardless of menu.

Also, this affects xfce4-terminal, and in fact, only the first instance of either gnome-terminal or xfce4-terminal is affected. As long as one of them is running, the next terminal opened is the correct size.

I can confirm this. Ubuntu 15.10. I have specified columns/rows to be 120x50 and every new terminal pops up as 119x49. This is only true for the following gtk+ themes:

- Adwaita
- HighContrast
- Yoyo
