Bug Description

Whenever I hover over the edge of the terminal where the scrollbar is, the window shrinks. It shrinks about the size of the scrollbar so something with the scrollbar is probably causing the issue. Might even be a theme bug.

I attached a video of the issue.

I think it's because the window want's to be a certain amount of characters wide, and since the scrollbar grows, one char get's "removed" so it shrinks to fit the next one

The expandable scrollbar is meant to overlay the contents - not to replace them. This what happens in Files for instance. The scrollbars are implemented by Vte.Terminal so this appears to be a bug in that widget?

No. The scrollbars are added by the container app (pantheon-terminal, gnome-terminal etc.).
