I suspect that you're facing the bug that was fixed here:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/vte/commit/?id=5bc6b3f

I wasn't clear about what I meant with "symmetric" margin. My wording
was clearly unfortunate, and even my example was incorrect :) I meant
where swapping the X and Y axes doesn't change anything, that is, top ==
left and bottom == right, for example "8px 5px 5px 8px".

Apparently, as per the fix, probably you can loosen this up a bit, and
any setting where left+right == top+bottom should work correctly I
believe. The bug arises when the overall vertical padding differs from
the overall horizontal padding.

Could you please confirm these?

If that's the case, you can:
- choose such paddings for now,
- wait for Artful which will ship vte-0.48 that fixes this,
- or recompile vte2.91 with this patch.

(The scrollback on the right is another story, unfortunately it's hard
to tell from a screenshot where the right paddings ends and the
scrollbar begins.)
