Description Matteo Settenvini 2011-03-22 15:25:50 UTC 
gnome-terminal version: 2.33.90. 
Gtk+ is version 3.0.3, on Debian GNU/Linux sid+experimental 64bit.

Steps to reproduce:
 * open a terminal
 * create another tab
 * use the keybinding for switching to next/prev tab continuously

Results:
 * the terminal gets smaller and smaller (also, and incidentally: sometimes it doesn't scroll automatically anymore if you're e.g. compiling something).

Expected results:
 * The terminal maintains its original size.

I'm attaching a screen capture of the issue.

Happens also in Git master using jhbuild for me. After using a terminal for more than 5 min, I have to manually drag it to its previous size. However, vte is failing to build since a couple of weeks in jhbuild, so I cannot say if it's due to vte.

Sorry for the poor quality, but 1MB of attachment limit is really too little, imho. 2MB would be enough for 2011. :-)
