Created attachment 5267 screenshots of before and after creating a tab What you should do to see the problem: 1. Create new term window without any tabs 2. Make term's window take left or right half of screen (the key component of this is having its vertical size max - like in fullscreen) 3. Notice that there is a window border visible at the bottom of the terminal 4. Press Ctrl+Shift+T or whatever your shortcut for creating a tab is 5. Notice that you can't see bottom border of the window now and if your resolution is high enough, you won't be able to see the bottom line in terminal (where your cursor might be) How to fix this: When switching from no tabs to tabs present shrink terminal's (where all the text of programs is) but keep the window's size. You can see the screenshots of the terminal before creating a tab and after attached.
Fixed in current git version.
I experience the problem reported above on xfce 4 terminal (version 4.12). Opening a new tab (for the first time) after presseing (Windows and left or right arrow key) moves the last line of the terminal out of the screen. Is it ususal to reopen the bug or should I create a new bug report?
I guess it's fine to reopen the bug in this particular case.
Igor referenced this bugreport in commit 6ce019cad5550b2b8d5a8bc3ab2d5db10e84aaca Do not resize the window when it's vertically maximized https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit?id=6ce019cad5550b2b8d5a8bc3ab2d5db10e84aaca
Should be fixed in git master.
