There is a regression in xfce4-terminel from Git, that I would like to address.

The terminal can't remember the last size after getting out of full screen. After getting out of full screen, the terminal is going back to it's initial size (from preferences) but not to the last changed size.

example:

1) open terminal as usual
2) most likely you have 80x24 as default size
3) now use the mouse to enlarge the window to say 150x24
4) now press F12 for full screen and press F12 to get out of full screen
5) the last set position of 150x24 has been reset to 80x24

This wasn't thet case before. It's quite annoying to resize the terminal over and over again now.

Hi Ali, and thanks for the report!
This is indeed a regression introduced by https://git.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/commit/?id=b1186b9379d6d90aa2f17f80bf83564c69d0d4ad
I will look into it.

I've reverted the problematic commit for now. Will have to figure out how to resolve the other bug without breaking anything else (haven't succeeded yet).
