Public bug reported:
When I connect my external monitor to my laptop, all of my terminal
windows shrink by a line.
As near as I can tell, this is because the addition of the second video
output (which is my primary when connected) causes the unity panel to be
removed briefly from the laptop display, then re-added on the external
monitor; and during the brief period when the panel does not exist, the
terminal is told to draw its own menubar. (I'm guessing as to the cause
here, but I definitely see the menubars appear briefly within the
terminal window). This eats up the space available for the terminal
itself, which isn't given back when the menubar disappears again.
