Description Arnaud B. 2008-11-12 11:15:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
With compiz, scrolling rapidely between tabs using different font-size makes the window becoming smaller and smaller (or bigger and bigger).

This bug should be reported to compiz devs, but I think the real problem is that gnome-terminal is the only application (I known) that changes the window-size depending on tabs... So, this bug should maybe be linked with a usability bug I'm going to write right now.

Steps to reproduce:
1. use compiz
2. have two profiles ("test1" and "test2"), with different font-size
3. open a window with tab 1 and 3 in test1, and tab 2 in test2
4. scroll up and down with the mouse-wheel on the tabs-bar


Actual results:
the window is becoming smaller and smaller (or bigger and bigger, depending of the font size...)

Expected results:
first, the size must stay the same for each terminal
secondly, the window-size should stay the same...

Does this happen every time?
yes

Nothing compiz specific here, happens with metacity too. This is by design in g-t.

No, it doens't have the same bug in metacity. I know for the design on g-t, I dislike it and I've done a bugreport about it, but there is a specific bug with compiz : the window could become 4 caracters by 2...

Right, I wasn't reading comment 0 carefully enough. That is bug 528304.
