[Bug 1477182] Re: Transparency failing gnome-terminal

 

** Description changed:

  After recently changing from Ubuntu 15.04 with Unity, to Ubuntu Gnome
  15.04, I have noticed that in Ubuntu Gnome, if I go into the profile
  settings and enable Transparency for gnome-terminal, it will only take
  effect once I have resized the gnome-terminal window by the means of
  pulling the window to another side of my screen and make it snap to a
  certain size (so if I pull it to the top it will maximize, if to the
  side, it will only then take up half of the screen).
  
  I have also noticed that if I open any other gnome-terminal window that
  I must go into the settings, and change the settings slightly for the
  Transparency (turning it off and on again, or moving the slider), even
  though the settings show it to be on, then I must get it to do the
  resize by dragging it to one edge of my screen (as I mentioned earlier)
  for the gnome-terminal to be transparent, otherwise it stays whatever
  colour I have set it to.
