[gnome-terminal] Maximize vertically not working
Last modified: 2017-10-23 15:23:33 UTC
In "Tweak Tool -> Windows -> Titlebar Actions" I set "Double-click" to "Toggle Maximize Vertically" So, when I double-click on a window title bar I expect that window to maximize vertically only (not fully maximize). This is not the case on Gnome Terminal. Then I double-click on the title bar the Gnome Terminal window maximizes fully. This worked well with previous versions of Gnome Terminal. This also works well on other windows, like Mozilla Firefox or Emacs.
What's your OS, version, window environment (e.g. standard Gnome or Unity 7/8), X or Wayland etc.? I'm on Ubuntu Zesty and its default Unity 7, plus vte and gnome-terminal are from git master. Changing the setting you mentioned in gnome-tweak-tool works for me as expected, gnome-terminal maximizes verically.
I'm on Fedora 26, standard Gnome, and Wayland. The packages are standard packages, up to date, from Fedora 26 repository. > cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 26 (Twenty Six) > uname -a Linux android 4.12.5-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Aug 7 15:27:25 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux > dnf info gnome-terminal Last metadata expiration check: 0:42:07 ago on Sun 03 Sep 2017 12:10:50 PM PDT.

Works here too (on F25).
-> g-s
On wayland, all window decorations are client-side. That is, it's up to the toolkit to support (or not support) any titlebar actions and related settings. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 746273 ***
