Window is opened 2 lines shorter than requested

[José Alburquerque]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I'm reporting this in this package because I don't know where else to report this. When I run the Ubuntu Classic Desktop session from gdm (instead of the Ubuntu Desktop Edition running Ubuntu One), each time I open a terminal, the window size is 80x22 instead of the regular 80x24. Is this purposely done? It looks like a small bug.

This is probably unrelated, but the same thing happens when running gvim.

Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that this bug does not just occur in Classic Desktop and it appears to me to occur in the development version of gnome-terminal so I have reported this to the Gnome developers.
