Package: gnome-terminal Version: 2.8.2-2 Severity: normal
When I have multiple tabs open, zooming in or out in one tab causes a the application in the other tabs to receive SIGWINCH.
Hi,
I can confirm this bug : not only the hidden applications receive a SIGWINCH, but their terminal size changes while they are hidden and it recovers its original size when the tab becomes visible again.
Here is a simple way do demonstrate this : - open at least two tabs (with a mere bourne shell)
- execute the command below in each of them : $ trap "stty -a | head -1" SIGWINCH
- Zoom (ctrl-+) in one of them
- Switch from one tab to one another
Here is an example of what can be observed : speed 38400 baud; rows 59; columns 270; line = 0; speed 38400 baud; rows 46; columns 197; line = 0; speed 38400 baud; rows 59; columns 270; line = 0; speed 38400 baud; rows 46; columns 197; line = 0;
Since every tab has its own pts device, I don't see any good reason why the terminal size should change for the hidden applications. gnome-terminal should check against terminal size changes only when the tab is visible, or becomes visible again.
