Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When changing the font size in gnome-terminal, the terminal window is resized according to the new font size. I'm assuming this is because it is trying to keep the same row/column size, and now the pixel size.

However, say gnome-terminal is in fullscreen mode (F11) and the font size is changed (I did this with the Ctrl+/Ctrl- shortcuts), and then gnome-terminal is taken out of fullscreen mode. Then the window will not have resized at all, to accommodated the new font size. That is, the window retains its pixel size, not its row/column size.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

I'm on vacation all summer, until August 25, so I am unable to test this at home where I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed. So unless somebody helps me test whether this is still an issue, please don't close this as incomplete until I come back home to test this.

Thank you.

PS: If closing it is necessary for some reason, I understand. I can report the same bug again if it still is a problem, if I can remember it. (It's not a bug I run into every day.)

Oh dear, I forgot to check whether this was still a problem with Natty. I've been busy with work.

Even though this is now automatically expired, I'd still like to confirm that this is still an issue in Natty. It is an issue when the font size is changed both when the terminal is in fullscreen mode (F11) and when the window is maximized.
