Incorrect size on Wayland
@gnunn
Submitted by Gerald Nunn Link to original bug (#779572)
Description
When you use the vte-terminal-set-size method to set the initial size of the terminal it works fine on X11, however on Wayland it seems to add 2-3 extra rows to the terminal. So for example, if I specify an initial size of 120x30, on Wayland I actually get 120x33.
I've tested this with terminix, xfce-terminal (GTK3 version) and terminator (GTK3 version) and they all have the same issue. Testing with gnome-terminal however shows that it is working fine, however I suspect this is because gnome-terminal is doing the size calculation itself instead of relying on VTE to do it. This can be seen in terminal_window_update_geometry and terminal_window_update_size in terminal-window.c in gnome-terminal.
