The problem seems to be related to multiple tabs. The problem occurs after resize and then show/hide (eg minimize and restore)
Open Terminal->Resize everything works correctly. Open Terminal->Open Tab terminal will revert to the size it was when you opened the tab regardless of future resizes. So: Open Terminal->Resize1->Resize2 (min/restore) terminal will be Resize2 Open Terminal->Resize1->Open Tab->Resize2 terminal will be at Resize1 after min/restore Open Terminal->Open Tab->Resize terminal will be default initial size after min/restore -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072493 Title: Terminal keeps reverting to default size during use Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using the terminal, if you resize it to something other than the default size (but don't maximize it), then it will randomly revert back to the default size. It seems to happen randomly without any specific cause. The only work around is to maximize the terminal, but that isn't often a good solution.
