Bug#834455: gnome-terminal: Window height decreases by 1 line with each typed character if multiple tabs are opened

[Peter Paluch]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.20.2-3
Severity: important

Greetings,

If running gnome-terminal in a window with multiple tabs, then each time a
character is typed in any of the opened tabs, the window height decreases by
one, progressively shrinking to a height of just 2 lines. Running
gnome-terminal in a window without tabs does not exhibit this phenomenon. 
Also, the window shrinking stops if all but one tabs are closed (does not
matter which ones). This problem thus seems to be specifically related to
having at least two opened tabs in a common window.

Thank you for looking into this issue!

Best regards,
Peter
