Bug#365982: gnome-terminal: display is messed up in new tabs

[Frédéric Gobry]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.14.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've experienced an annoying bug with gnome-terminal since ~ 2.14.0.
When I open a new tab, applications that do "fullscreen" display (like less,
mutt,...) are not properly displayed, see a screenshot at:

 <http://arch.pybliographer.org/~fred/gnome-terminal-bug.png>

This is easily fixed by resizing the window, but will rehappen for every
new tab. 

Note that this only happens when the terminal has been resized after its
opening.  It looks as if the new tab believes it still has the size of
the initial window, before resizing.

(I'm pretty sure it must have been reported somewhere else, but I could
not find a report. sorry if this is a duplicate)
