terminal output window can only be resized to grow

[matthew72]

Binary package hint: synaptic

the terminal output window can only be resized to be wider or taller, and once done cannot be resized back.
the size persists across invocations; i don't know whether it always behaved like this or
in my case, i mistakenly made it taller than the desktop and now part of it sticks in another viewport; the window bounces up and down when clicked to allow me clicking the "close" button -- btw, thanks to whoever has been so nice to implement this functionality.
i looked for synaptic data files in /root (it's started by gksu) and in my home but didn't find anything about the terminal window geometry (but found main window geometry). i suppose it's an external "applet" not part of synaptic, any hint as where do i find the geometry setting to reset it by hand?

Thanks for your report.

How do you resized the terminal window ? It normally cannot be resized.
