Transparency failing gnome-terminal

[Wise Melon]

After recently changing from Ubuntu 15.04 with Unity, to Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, I have noticed that in Ubuntu Gnome, if I go into the profile settings and enable Transparency for gnome-terminal, it will only take effect once I have resized the gnome-terminal window by the means of pulling the window to another side of my screen and make it snap to a certain size (so if I pull it to the top it will maximize, if to the side, it will only then take up half of the screen).

I have also noticed that if I open any other gnome-terminal window that I must go into the settings, and change the settings slightly for the Transparency (turning it off and on again, or moving the slider), even though the settings show it to be on, then I must get it to do the resize by dragging it to one edge of my screen (as I mentioned earlier) for the gnome-terminal to be transparent, otherwise it stays whatever colour I have set it to.

This was on Gnome 3.14, but the issue is still present in Gnome 3.16.

Ok, I have added the requested information.

I have tested this again in an Ubuntu 15.10 (with Unity) build and the issue is not present, however it is still present in the Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 build that I tested it in.
