[Bug 880734] [NEW] gnome-terminal window changes size to one-line in KDE

 

Public bug reported:

I'm using kde, but I prefer the gnome-terminal, because I'm using some
features which the konsole does not offer. Under kde, the gnome-terminal
behaves a bit strange.

When starting the gnome-terminal under kwin, the window sizes down to
one single line hight.

When activating or deactivating the menu (F12), the window sizes down to
minimum width and height.

When I resize the window, the cursor freezes and the window contents
stop updating, e.g. text does not appear when I'm typing. After dragging
the window by grabbing the title bar with the mouse, the cursor will
blink again and the contents will be updated.

I tried to force gnome-terminal windows to open in a certain size via
kcmshell4, but this had no helpful effect. The gnome-terminal first
opened in the desired size, but then rapidly changed size to a single
line again.

There are also some redraw problems, when parts of a gnome-terminal have
been hidden and are brought into foreground again, but these problems
appear randomly: the hidden parts are being redrawn when I move the
windows.
