terminal resizes when reset

[epv]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

In jaunty alpha/amd64, gnome-terminal 2.25.5-0ubuntu2 shrinks the terminal size by one line every time "reset" is run from the shell, until the terminal is two lines high.

Confirmed, will look upstream, thanks.

I hope this can get fixed for Jaunty. I have the terrible habit of typing reset in my terminals pretty frequently. And due to this bug I keep having to resize the window. Thanks.

If you are working on gnome-terminal, please include in options, choice for --geometry option.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

this is fixed on trunk now, thanks in advance.

[James Ward (jamesward)]

Just updated Jaunty and this is fixed. Thanks!

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

yes this is now fixed with gnome-terminal 2.26.0, thanks all.

On Jaunty amd64, still broken for me (gnome-terminal 2.26.0, libvde9/libvde-common 0.20.0). Following the gnome bug entry[1], it looks like it's a vde[2] bug instead. This fix isn't yet in Jaunty, but was just recently updated to Karmic[3]. I installed the karmic versions of libvte9, libvte-common, and gnome-terminal and that fixes things. Once the libvte9/libvte-common changes from karmic hit jaunty, I'll switch back.
