Bug Description

Please update to gnome-terminal 3.34.1 (or .2) for eoan.

Or, at least, cherry-pick this trivial fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/commit/2cbc9e6b9be7f4d6b2d92b40e37ec687d36ce98d

A change in GTK triggered a bug in Terminal causing a pretty bad user experience. A fullscreened terminal under Wayland doesn't retain its fullscreen status at certain operations, such as opening/closing a second tab, or zooming. Opening a second tab actually further grows the window as the tab bar appears, so that the bottom 1 or 2 text rows become invisible (out of screen).

This issue was fixed in 3.34.1, along with two other minor issues and many translation updates. 3.34.2 brings another translation update only.

Ubuntu usually aims to ship GNOME x.y.1. I assume there was no particular reason for not updating GNOME Terminal to .1 in this cycle, other than probably lack of time. I sincerely hope that the aforementioned UX regression convinces you to release a last minute fix for 19.10, or an update shortly afterwards. Thanks a lot!

There is a standing microrelease exception for GNOME:

Untagging, the description suggests it's wayland specific which isn't our default session. It's likely to be SRUed anyway as part of the standard GNOME point updates
