Hi, Terminator maintainer here. This is another occurrence of a common bug in Terminator. It's connected with the "window geometry hints" as suggested by #6. It seems like the geometry hints and the window manager get in an argument over how big the window should be, and they each start adjusting the size, causing the incredible shrinking windows. There's a number of bugs previously raised against the Terminator project in Launchpad (i.e. lp:1246078 and lp:1361252)

Simplest fix is to deactivate the geometry hints. I didn't write this bit of the code, and I've not yet figured out the proper fix.
