Description Matthias Clasen 2011-01-24 19:27:29 UTC 
gnome-terminal is shrinking on every tab switch.

krh tracked this down to inner-border not being set right, and came up with a patch that fixes it:

Comment 1 Christian Persch 2011-01-24 19:43:14 UTC 
Looks fine, in principle.

The thing I _don't_ like is to create a new style provider for each instance of VteTerminal; I'd prefer to have a way to attach a style provider to the class instead so it applies automatically to each instance of the class. That would require gtk API.
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2011-01-24 21:38:26 UTC 
See gtk_style_provider_add_provider_for_screen
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2011-02-02 17:46:53 UTC

Comment 7 Paul Sladen 2011-11-23 22:28:56 UTC 
The "fix" for this appears to have made all of the terminals 2 pixels wider, preventing getting two 80x25 terminals side-by-side on a 1280 pixel screen (8 pixels per cell):

  "Increased terminal padding under precise: 160 columns of 8-pixel wide no longer fit … on 1280 pixel display"

Comment 8 Christian Persch 2011-11-23 22:42:01 UTC 
The fix (not "fix") here made the gtk3 terminal actually have the border as specified; it is correct.
