I'm seeing this now for the first time after installing Vivid (Ubuntu GNOME 15.04, gnome-terminal 3.14.2-0ubuntu3).
When not changing the default terminal size, the first console window opens correctly (80x24). But all subsequent windows (created with Ctrl- Shift-N) are just one character short (79x23). When setting a custom terminal size in the preferences, all terminal windows are one character too small. So setting the size to 81x25 fixed the issue for me. I also quickly checked, whether the size indicator actually shows the correct values when re-sizing the window, and yes, it does! This issue might be worthy of opening a new bug report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290941 Title: gnome-terminal ignores 'Use custom default terminal size' setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1290941/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
