minimized terminal is sometimes taller after restore (gnome-fallback)

[Ryan Tandy]

Under GNOME Flashback (nee Fallback) with Compiz, after I minimize a gnome-terminal, when I restore it again, it frequently (but not always) comes back one row taller than when I minimized it.

I can't reproduce under Unity.

Not reproducible under Metacity either. Adding Compiz as affected.

Definitely a Compiz regression; removing gnome-terminal. Not finished bisecting yet.

This was introduced in r3278 on lp:compiz/0.9.10. It went away when that was reverted in r3736 and came back again when it was brought back in r3751.

Hi Ryan,

Thank you very much for bisecting this issue and narrowing down which commit is causing this issue. That commit is a pretty big and complicated one. I also suspect is causing some other issues too.

I'm not a user of Gnome Flashback. I'm a Unity dev, so I use Unity:) However, as I suspect this is causing other issues, I will put this on my list to try to figure out what Compiz is doing to mess this up.

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

I think this is fixed in trusty. I'll keep an eye on it and close the bug soon if I don't see it again.

[Ryan Tandy (rtandy)]

Can't reproduce in trusty. Marking fixed.
