Resizing terminal window doesn't show WxL #458

Open mvi57 opened 1 month ago

mvi57 commented 1 month ago

Expected behaviour

When I resize the terminal window I don't get an indicator showing the width and length of the window

Actual behaviour

Nothing shows

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

MATE general version

1.28

Package version

1.28.1

Linux Distribution

Fedora 40

I upgraded a Fedora 39 system to Fedora 40. When I logged in my terminal windows were about 5 lines long by about 20 characters wide. When I resized the windows by dragging the borders no indicator showed up (as happened in Fedora 39, mate 1.26) showing what the size of the window was as I was resizing them. When I logged out and logged in again, the windows returned to their miniature size. I removed the windows, logged out, logged in again, and created new windows that seem to survive logouts now.

I guess what I want to know is if the lack of the indicator showing the window size during a resize is something you did or something that Fedora broke. If it was Fedora then I will report it there.

Thank you!

Using mate-terminal 1.28.1, I can confirm this behaviorfor Arch Linux. Plus the following anomaly: If you use --t to open a new terminal tab, the width/length indicator reappears and persists even if you close the second tab again.
