Bug#367985: gnome-terminal: full-screen programs garbled in new tabs of resized windows

[Michael Spang]

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

If I increase the number of lines in one of my terminals, and then open a new
tab, any full-screen terminal program will take up only the first 24 lines and
will seem to begin above the top of the terminal (ie, the first line of
`less /etc/passwd` would be the entry for hal rather than root). Attempting
to navigate within less while the terminal is in this state garbles the screen
further.

The problem can be corrected by resizing the window again or by running `reset`
in the new tab.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a new terminal window
2. Increase the vertical size of the terminal window by one or more lines
3. Open a new tab in the same window
4. Run less, vi, nano, or any other full-screen terminal app in the new tab
