Thanks for the pointer! The window in the screen shot is taken with zero configured padding. The green strip between the gray vim background and the orange scroll bar is all ugly padding added by gnome-terminal.
It sounds from your description as if the real problem is in "vte" which is used by gnome-terminal? Note that, in the worst of cases, when I maximize a window and get a green border on the bottom, I will sometimes get a line of text "stuck" there, and it's inaccessible by any normal editor commands or cursor movement. I can't reproduce this on demand (yet) though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714810 Title: gnome-terminal shrinks window to nothing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1714810/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
