Description Ken Deeter (Kentarou Shinohara) 2003-08-18 09:02:27 UTC
Using 2.4 beta 1 ebuilds from breakmygentoo.net

How to reproduce:

Create a profile with some font with size 12
Create another profile withe some font size 10

Now open two tabs, one for each profile.

Switch the tabs back and forth with the mouse.

On my machine, When switching to the profile with the smaller font
the size of the window shrinks. Then when I switch back to the session with
the larger font, the window size stays the same. If I switch again to the
smaller font, the window shrinks again. I can keep switching the tabs back
and forth and the window gets smaller and smaller.

The window should probably always stay the same size. Either that, or the
row and column count should stay the same, and the window should just
resize based on the different glyph sizes for the fonts.

Note bug 110103 reports exactly the opposite behaviour as a bug...

Also, I think this is a dup, but I can't find the original one.

I can reproduce this behaviour in 2.16.1/0.14.1 but not with svn HEAD.

I'm guessing the "workaround" for the notebook resizing of all tabs also fixed this bug.
