Public bug reported:
Synopses:
gnome-terminal will use a solid background color, regardless of the setting.
UNLESS, I make gnome-terminal display a dialog box. In the contained video
you'll see a terminal with a black-background (in an ssh session) when I try
and close it, I get a dialog asking if I want to close the window with a
running program. When the dialog appears, the background goes to true
transparency. When I cancel it goes back to solid. I then change the setting
of transparency and you can see that the setting is working, only when dialog
happens.
Expectation:
I expect gnome-terminal background to respect the transparency setting all the
time, and not just when a dialog appears.
