Thanks Filipus for your screenshot! This is very helpful. Note that the other screenshot is showing a different issue, there are two terminal windows in synaptic, one with a progressbar on top and one without. I was able to reproduce the issue that the terminal widget is too short, its around 18 rows for me instead of the requested: vte_terminal_set_size(VTE_TERMINAL(_term),80,23); so I think this is a vte/gtk bug in some way, I will try to create a test case to report it upstream and find a workaround. It seems like its working if I force a widget size on the vte terminal with gtk_widget_set_size_request () but the tricky part is to calculate the required height.
