Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

Because of bug 751858 I have to do a lot of manual, mouse based window resizing. This is especially bad for Terminal, which doesn't get it's proper screen height adjusted when you open a second tab. the problem is that the bottom of the Terminal is off the bottom of the screen an inaccessible, so the only way to fix the window size is to try to grab the top menu bar. However, the target for doing a top-menu-bar resize is unusably small. I usually end up moving the window instead of resizing it. Sometimes I move it up into the global menubar, which unity then takes as my wanting a full screen version of Terminal. I definitely *don't* want that, so then the window because unusably big.

There needs to be a window resize target at the top of the window's title bar that you can actually hit!
