Overview:

I have gnome-terminal's profile configured with a little bit of transparency. It has worked as intended until now.

As of the last reboot, when I issue gnome-terminal using a keyboard shortcut (<Alt>+<space>), the transparency is set to 100% (fully transparent).

If I start it either by the shell application icon, "run command" (<Alt>+<F2>) or a terminal, it starts correctly.

Note that if I start it from the shortcut and then from any of the previously mentioned ways it starts fully transparent, suggesting it stores the new forced preference.


Steps to Reproduce:

1) Configure the profile to use a background transparency between 1% and 99%
2) Start gnome-terminal using a keyboard shortcut


Actual Results:

The terminal is fully transparent


Expected Results:

Should start with the configured transparency

Additional Builds and Platforms:

I remember a while ago, I was using Arch Linux back then, the same problem occurred. This was when gnome-shell was in version 3.0 or 3.2. Looking at the lack of regularity and information found on Google, it's hard to actually reproduce.

I found these similar cases, though:

I don't really know how to help debug this problem so let me know if I can get any logs or something to help.
