This problem seems to be even worse with a 4K monitor set to 200% scaling. When I follow the procedure above with such a monitor, maximised terminal windows appear to end up twice the width and height of the screen. :(

Have laptop with 1920x1080 display, but closed so the display is not being used. 2. Have external 1920x1200 monitor connected via HDMI. 3. Open gnome-terminal and maximise it. 4. Press Windows+L to lock screen. 5. Leave computer locked for long enough for the monitor to go into power save. 6. Unlock. 7. Notice that gnome-terminal window no longer covers the whole screen - a 120 pixel bar of the desktop is visible at the bottom of the screen. 8. Double click on the gnome-terminal title bar in an attempt to maximise the window and discover that the window gets smaller (because it thought it was already maximised.) 9. Double click on the gnome-terminal title bar again and the window is then maximised correctly. Expected result: The gnome-terminal window remains maximised covering the whole screen at step 7. (However, if I were to unplug the external monitor and start using the laptop display I would expect the window to remain maximised but resized to cover the smaller display.) I suspect that this problem can be reproduced with any two differing display sizes.
