Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

When I drag the right border of the Terminal window to some abnormal width (e.g., 240 wide), the title bar and border of the window are not painted.

To recreate,
1.) Launch gnome-terminal
2.) Drag the terminal's right border all the way to the right edge of the desktop.
3.) Drag the window, using the title bar, to the left so that you can made the terminal window wider.
4.) Repeat steps 2 and 3 a couple times.

After I hit about 240x24 the title bar and border turn white. The minimize, maximize and close buttons still function, just aren't painted.

I just thought of testing and same thing happens for calculator (gcalctool) and gedit as well, so any gnome window apparently.

I have tried with gedit and gnome-terminal too on lucid, and this doesn't happen, so this appears to be fixed now.

I just installed Ubuntu Lucid x86_64 and the issue still persists for me.
Window Manager, This is Ubuntu, so Gnome.
System -> Preferences -> Appearances -> Vistial Effects the selected entry is: Normal

I get a just slightly difference experience now with Lucid though.
This time I tried with Calculator. When I widen it to more than the full-width of the display (full-width is about 157 characters on my display, so I guess the point the title bar anomoly occurs is at about 250), then the terminal window contracts and is re-rendered on one workspace at the full-width. What also happens is that my compiz settings get change, as described in #12 and #13 of Bug #145704.

Further atttempts to widen the terminal again past the full-width of the display behaves identical to my initial report above (and as displayed in the attachment.) The difference with Lucid is that because the close, minimize, maximize are now on the left stretching wide makes this bug purely a cosmetic issue and not a usability issue.

After the first time this happens, that resizing behavior is inconsistent. However, I can get this to happen in an identical manner again after logging out of the desktop and then logging back in again.
