When I create new tab using keyboard shortcut, the command prompt is not shown (just cursor in the top left corner). Then if I press any key, the prompt is redered together with the key. The same shows if the new tab is opened from the menu and I select Open New Tab and press Enter. If I click mouse on the menu item, the prompt is shown. Tested also with 0.2.5.8.rc2 - with the same behaviour.
Probably an issue with your VTE version. Which version do you use?
Sorry, what are you asking for? libvte-common 0.12.2-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0 - common files libvte4 0.12.2-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ 2.0 - runtime files Nothing else installed having VTE in the package name not found. One more comment. The terminal shows prompt correctly when running in normal window size and in fullscreen. The reported problem occurs only and only when the window is maximized with the xfce panel (I use just one panel) set to autohide (I like maximal window size for work) and for 3rd and any next tab (inserting tabbar for the second tab does force screen redraw). It is not depending on menu bar visibility.
Hm, probably a race between Terminal and xfwm4 during resizing. That's somewhat tricky. Olivier? Ideas?
I doubt it, xfwm4 doesn't resize the window, it's the client that configures itself (or rather sends a configureRequest). More likely, it's an issue with size increments not being used when maximized. Try disabling "Hide frame of windows when maximized" in wmtweaks settings. This is probably an issue with vte.
Yes if I disable "Hide frame of windows when maximized", then the prompt is shown correctly, even the window is maximized. Well "maximized" is not the correct word at this moment, because it uses maximal extent it can to have the interior of the window as multiples of character size, but there is small amount of desktop visible on the right and bottom edges. I've tried the gnome-terminal for a while, and it has the same issue (and another one when openinf the 3rd and next tabs). I'll submitt another bug report in the VTE package. Thanks for help.
