@Marius, Ubuntu 17.10 uses gnome-shell by dfault, but unity is still available.
Actually I'm using unity7 on 17.10, and this bug isn't present there. However, I can confirm the bug on gnome-shell + wayland. Interestingly, trying a couple of terminal emulators (xfce4-terminal, mate-terminal) some are buggy, some are not; and when double clicking on the title, some maximize with an animation and some maximize without. No clue why this difference in animation is there, and no clue if it's relevant. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288655 Title: terminal gets smaller when maximized and then restored Status in GNOME Terminal: Confirmed Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1. Open a gnome-terminal window (from the launcher or by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T) 2. "stty -a | grep rows" reports "rows 24; columns 80;" 3. Maximize the window (by clicking on the maximize button, or double clicking the title bar, or dragging the window up to the panel) 4. Do the same again to un-maximize the window 5. Now "stty -a | grep rows" reports "rows 23; columns 79;" Each time I do this, the window keeps getting one character shorter and one character narrower!
