Public bug reported:
When I Maximize in terminator, the rendering of the window changes from
that what existed prior to maximizing, and then changes again as soon as
I press any key at the shell prompt.
This happens whenever my terminator console has any scrollback
(i.e..,older displayed content that has scrolled off the screen). Then
when I Maximize the window (either with mouse, or F11), the display is
blank with the exception of the shell prompt at the top row of the
display. When I then type anything at the prompt the screen instantly
jumps, the scrollback is rendered properly, and my key input is
displayed properly.
Steps to reproduce.
1.) Launch terminator window
Displayed is a 80x24 shell.
| me@mybox: $
2.) At prompt, type clear [Enter]
3.) Maximize by pressing F11.
Displayed is just the prompt on the first row. And the scrollbar on the right
shows that you can scroll back to earlier e.g.
| me@mybox: $
4.) Press any key
Now displayed is the scrollback. e..g,
| me@mybox: $ clear
| me@mybox: $ [input prompt cursor]
So this is just a cosmetic error, but can affect usability as display
jumps once you start typing.
Incidentally, I notice if I hit F11 again to restore the window to its
previous size (standard view), the size it restores to changes the size
from what it was initially (80x24) to (79x23). I'll file a separate
bug report on that but wanted to note that here in case it helps in
troubleshooting.
