But uxterm, based on XTerm(268) does show the bug. Hmm... I just installed a whole bunch and did some simple tests. Terminal Emulator Status ----------------- -------- eterm ok evilvte bad, can't size down, only up. gnome-terminal ok guake ok konsole ok kterm bad kxterm ok, wierd lxterminal ok mlterm ok mrxvt ok mrxvt-full ok rxvt bad tilda non-resizeable uxterm bad wterm bad xiterm bad So I'd almost say it's something with the xterm family, maybe Xlib based? Let me know if there's more info you need and I'll do my best to get it to you. I'm happy to apply patches or updates to the system too. I'll be pulling daily updates and doing full reboots.
