I meant to put a cd after the touch. I noticed on my laptop it will only reduce the size of the terminal by one, but in the vm it goes into a loop. On my laptop:
$ mkdir -p ~/really/really/really/really/loooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg/directory/ $ touch ~/really/really/really/really/loooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg/directory/foo $ cd ~/really/really/really/really/loooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg/directory/ $ stty size 25 85 $ stty size 25 84 $ stty size 25 83 $ ls foo $ stty size 25 81 $ Using the patched gnome-terminal it works fine. -- 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/1681585 Title: gnome-terminal incorrectly calculates csd size with long titles Status in GNOME Terminal: Fix Released Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: This is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769898. I see this on 17.04 with gnome3/wayland. For example, if I edit a file using vim deep in a directory and save the file, the size of the terminal changes (as seen with 'stty size'). There are many different scenarios where the terminal size changes and gets smaller and smaller. Using the attached debdiff (uploaded to zesty just now) resolves the issue for me. Tested patch under gnome3/wayland and it fixes the issue. Tested under Unity7/X and it introduced no regressions.
