Public bug reported: Starting gnome-terminal results in a 79×23 window instead of the standard 80×24, at least in Ubuntu Gnome with the default Adwaita theme on a high-DPI laptop. This makes it irritating to use some applications designed for an 80-column terminal.
According to an upstream bug report (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750559), the problem is caused by the Ubuntu patch debian/patches/0001-Add-the-style-context- provider-with-FALLBACK-priorit.patch, which was reverted upstream (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740123#c6) and in Debian (https://bugs.debian.org/787104) for this reason. A new version of this patch (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740123#c9) fixes the problem for me. ** Affects: vte Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: vte2.91 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: vte2.91 (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags: patch -- 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/1528728 Title: gnome-terminal starts up at 79×23 instead of 80×24 Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator: Unknown Status in vte2.91 package in Ubuntu: New Status in vte2.91 package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: Starting gnome-terminal results in a 79×23 window instead of the standard 80×24, at least in Ubuntu Gnome with the default Adwaita theme on a high-DPI laptop.
