Subject: gnome-terminal: Maximizing a window and restoring results in a smaller window
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2021 10:25:05 +0200
Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.38.1-2
Severity: normal

When starting a gnome-terminal window, the terminal defaults to a 80
columns by 24 lines terminal window. Maximizing that on my FullHD
monitor results in whatever fits in the display. Restoring that back to
the "regular" size then results in a 79x23, rather than a 80x24,
terminal window.

This can be repeated, until the window has 47 columns and 3 lines, at
which point the window no longer resizes smaller.

In case it is relevant, I changed my profile so that I have a 9pt
monospace font.

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm that this bug still exists for Xorg. It's not an issue for Wayland.
