gnome-terminal opens a few character short

[Pletched]

The terminal is opening with smaller y-axis of about 2-3 characters shorter. I'm using a Ubuntu 12.04.

can you post a screen shoot, I don't quite get what you mean. Also check (from terminal menu bar) Edit> Profile prefe; see if you can fix it.

also, which terminal? And how are you opening it? you can effect gnome-terminal's geometry with the --geometry flag.

Everyone always makes a big deal and loses their entire mind when I suggest you read the man page, but in this case (as with most cases actually), it would help.

I'm opening it the most usual way by clicking it in the gnome-panel. What I mean by shorter is it isn't opening in its default or whatever size I set it too.

It usual opens 2 or 3 characters short vertically, e.g. if it's set to 80x24 it would open 80x21 or 80x22.

(Possibly) the same happens using the xfce4-terminal. I open all of my terminals from the launcher on the xfce panel. All are 80 columns wide, but the first I open always has 22 rows, subsequent ones have 24 rows. When I close all of them and open a new one, it again has 22 rows. To me it isn't annoying, just peculiar. I never bothered finding a way to change it.

On Xfce 4.10, this happens when "rolling" gnome-terminal's window. xfce4-terminal works just fine, though. Maybe try installing xfce4-terminal then use it.

I found out what was causing it. Using gnome-panel(I mean gnome classic) makes it happen, however using Unity makes it go away.

Try Edit-->Profile Preferences-->set column and width to whatever you want.

Or Edit-->Profiles-->Default-->set column and width.

Or define a custom profile and call the program with a launcher shortcut to load that profile.

I don't know what I was thinking using gnome-panel(classic) for something that disregards it. I've started using lubuntu.
