>From my little perspective, it seems like it would be nice if gnome- terminal defaulted to 80x25. A quick search and a read of wikipedia seems to indicate that 80x25 is the most common format:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80x25 "By far the most common text mode used in DOS environments, and initial Windows consoles, is the default 80 columns by 25 rows, or 80×25, with 16 colors. This mode was available on practically all IBM and compatible personal computers. All 80×25 modes also had a virtual 80×24 mode, used by some applications that needed a status bar on the last row, like terminal emulators. In reality, it was the same 80×25 mode, but restrained by software to make the last row unaccesible." I'll copy the bug over to gnome-terminal, but I don't really want to get in the middle of flamewar about something like this. -- gnome-terminal should default to 80x25 for application compatibility https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/464783 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
