Description
Please describe the problem: Since I have been using gnome-terminal 2.18.0, I have been observing problems with cursor drawing. In short, its width isn't constant; it is sometimes a bit thicker than expected, and sometimes thiner, that is, the usual width if I'm not mistaken.
I can't reproduce this problem on my desktop, but it always happens with my laptop. That's a really wild guess, but maybe it has something to do with the fact that my laptop has a wide screen (1920x1200)? It seems doubtful to me, but mentioning it doesn't hurt.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start gnome-terminal. The cursor is thicker than usual.
- Type a character and delete it with backspace. Now the cursor is thiner.
Actual results: As explained, the width of the cursor varies.
Expected results: I would expect the cursor to always have the same width, as usual.
Does this happen every time? No, I can see this problem only on my laptop box, not the desktop one for some reason.
