Created attachment 1788 
screenshot of the Terminal miximized off screen

When Terminal is used in Fluxbox (1.0.0) and MiscAlwaysShowTabs is set to FALSE, and a user creates another tab in a maximized window of Terminal, then the window will resize off screen hiding the bottom lines of terminal viewport content. Terminal has to be unmaximized, and maximized again to resize to such a window state where all lines a visible.

A workaround for that is to set MiscAlwaysShowTabs to TRUE. 

BTW: From my GNOME days I remember similar bugs being filed against Gnome Terminal.

Comment 2 torquil 2008-09-12 19:32:21 CEST
I'm using the standard XFCE4 windowmanager, and I'm having similar problems when I have "vartically maximized" a terminal (xfce4-terminal). I start xfce4-terminal, middle-click on the maximize button on the top right so that it is only vertically maximized (not horizontally). I then start a second tab, andthe window height is increased so that the bottom part of it goes below the XFCE panel.

The strange thing is that this does not happen on my other computer that runs the same software... On that one the height of the vertically maximized window does not increase when I add a second tab. I'm pretty sure that both machines are running Debian Unstable, although I don't have an opportunity right now to verify that the version numbers are exactly the same.

Debian Unstable with
xfce4-terminal 0.2.8-5
xfwm4 4.4.2-5

Best regards,
Torquil Sørensen
Comment 3 André Klitzing 2011-07-22 10:53:28 CEST
Still happens here
terminal: 0.4.8
xfwm: 4.8.1

Gnome-Terminal will grow up and it feels more reasonable. Xfce-Terminal should do the same here.
Comment 4 florian.bw 2014-02-16 21:01:14 CET
Still the same issue with version 0.6.3 of the xfce terminal.

Do not see this in the git version ported to gtk3. Could anyone else check?
Comment 7 Igor editbugs 2016-07-17 18:45:35 CEST
Not reproducible in vte3 version.
