Description Toni Ruottu 2010-02-21 23:17:02 UTC 
steps to reproduce:
1) open up gnome-terminal
2) press ctrl+shift+t to open a second tab
3) press ctrl++ to make the font size bigger
4) switch back to the first tab

what happens:
The window grows bigger on ctrl++, and smaller on switching to the first tab

what should happen:
The window size should remain constant. This requires adding some padding around the actual terminal, when the screen space is not directly divisible with the size of characters.

Some might argue that support for the padding is not necessary, if we decide to use a common font size for all the tabs. This is not true, as support for such a padding is always needed when the terminal is running in full screen mode.

This is still happening in gnome-terminal 3.4.1.1 (on Ubuntu Precise).
