Title:
  gnome-terminal doesn't handle keyboard resizing well

Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

  Using Ubuntu 9.04, Gnome-Terminal reporting itself at 2.26.0, and
  metacity (i.e., no compiz)

  Reproduce:
  1. Open a gnome-terminal
  2. Use window-manager keybinding to initiate a resize (alt-f8 on my setup it seems)
  3. Hit right-arrow key and hold down
  4. window will grow to the right.  Eventually it fails to grow any further, and bounces backwards and forward at around that point (column numbers jitter around 190-210, very quickly).  

  This happens while resizing from the left too.

  Alternatively, initiate a keyboard resize, hit an arrow key a few
  times, and then move the mouse a little: the terminal window gets a
  terrible case of the shakes.  This does not happen with Firefox, Emacs
  or Rhythmbox, though none of them look particularly graceful as they
  resize.
