Adding a gnome-terminal task, as I'm interested in their opinion too. ** Also affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- `qemu -ncurses` 80x25 vs gnome-terminal 80x24 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464783 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 464783] Re: `qemu -ncurses` 80x25 vs gnome-terminal 80x24
From my little perspective, it seems like it would be nice if gnome- terminal defaulted to 80x25. A quick search and a read of wikipedia seems to indicate that 80x25 is the most common format: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80x25 By far the most common text mode used in DOS environments, and initial Windows consoles, is the default 80 columns by 25 rows, or 80×25, with 16 colors. This mode was available on practically all IBM and compatible personal computers. All 80×25 modes also had a virtual 80×24 mode, used by some applications that needed a status bar on the last row, like terminal emulators. In reality, it was the same 80×25 mode, but restrained by software to make the last row unaccesible. I'll copy the bug over to gnome-terminal, but I don't really want to get in the middle of flamewar about something like this. -- gnome-terminal should default to 80x25 for application compatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464783 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm marking the qemu-kvm task invalid as I think qemu is doing the right thing, by emulating an 80x25 console. ** Changed in: qemu-kvm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- gnome-terminal should default to 80x25 for application compatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464783 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

And for completeness, this is totally configurable in gnome-terminal.
