After some more research I found, that this issue isn't that important I
thought (so I set the severity to minor), but it's really obscure. I'm
working under XFCE4. I open a terminal and maximize the terminal window.
Then I open one more terminal as tab and I have to resize the window
again, because the tab-bar makes the original window bigger than the
screen. In both do less, ... work. Now I open one more tab and there I
see nothing (see the screenshot I attached first). Every following tab
shows the same issue. I have to resize the window again to be able to
see e.g. the output of less. So that is really obscure. I never had this
problem with gnome-terminal <= 2.12. I will try to do some more
research.
