[dapper] gnome-terminal --full-screen fails randomly

[C. Cooke]

To reproduce:

open a terminal.
type 'gnome-terminal --full-screen'

This should start a full-screen terminal; however, around 40% of the time the
terminal flickers to fullscreen and then settles to a normal 80x24 window.

No error messages I can see.

Thanks for your bugreport, which version of gnome-terminal do you use? I took
the report upstream: http://bugs.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317348

2.12.0-0ubuntu2

(should I reply here or the upstream bug?)

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Wherever you like, but it's easier to take the discussion upstream. I'm tracking
the bug as well, so we'll both know, when there are news about it.

[Jonathan Métillon (jmetillon)]

I can confirm the bug.

Also I changed the command from the launcher properties. I put exactly this command:

gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --working-directory=%f --full-screen

When I click the launcher, the GNOME Terminal opens in full screen but immediatly resizes back to normal windowed mode. Sometimes it works, randomly. Fails more often than it works.

Configuration:
Ubuntu Linux 5.10 Breezy Badger
GNOME 2.12.1
Metacity 2.12.1
GNOME Terminal 2.12.0

FWIW, I can reproduce this bug in dapper too, using gnome-terminal 2.13.90.

Upstream is working on a fix

[Thomas Folz-Donahue (eigenlambda)]

Looks like a fix is in progress then. Changing status from 'unconfirmed'...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the new version is available in ubuntu now and fixes the issue there
