Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-2
Severity: normal

When I have multiple tabs open, zooming in or out in one tab causes a
the application in the other tabs to receive SIGWINCH.

To reproduce this, open a new GNOME Terminal window and run the
following script:

 #!/usr/bin/env python

 import signal

 def handle_SIGWINCH(signal, frame):
     print 'Received SIGWINCH.'

 signal.signal(signal.SIGWINCH, handle_SIGWINCH)
 while True:
     pass

Create a second tab, switch to it, and zoom out.  Switch to the first
tab, and note that it has received two SIGWINCHes.
