Window sizing was really odd as well, but I'm not sure if it was a problem or just that I didn't quite grok the behaviour and was thus surprised. Either way, the latest version seems much better behaved.
I tried to reproduce the 'roxterm --tab' no-grow thing, but it seems OK to me. I opened a new ROXTerm window and: $ echo $LINES $COLUMNS 46 102 $ roxterm --tab And in the new tab: $ echo $LINES $COLUMNS 46 102 Then I used the GUI to open a new tab. In no case did I notice the window get larger to accommodate tabs. Oh, wait... I got it. I always have "always show tab bar" checked [1]. In that case there is no issue. Without that, I do see the behaviour you describe. My suggestion for a "fix" is to set "always show tab bar" checked by default for a new install, and document the glitch. :-) Otherwise I agree not to waste time on it. _____________________________ Soapbox [1] For principles of obviousness and least surprise I would argue that any window capable of tabs should default to always showing a tab bar. First, it should be obvious just by looking at it what an interface can do and hidden tab bars violate that. Second, when a significant part of the interface changes "randomly" (where "randomly" is described by the user as "I didn't do anything" or "I have no idea why it does that") that's annoying and frustrating to the user. Yeah, most of us are pretty used to this by now (I'm looking at you Firefox). Not all of us...
