xfce4-terminal funny geometry inconsistency
by Skaperen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#545KA)
my display id 1920x1080. my desktop font size is 14. i don't remember how i set this, by my Xfce4 is putting narrow headings on each window.
when i run xfce4-terminal and specify a geometry of 138x38. i get a terminal with a geometry of 137x36. this is with a font size of 17. but if i specify a geometry of 137x36 i get a terminal with a geometry of 136x35.
here is where the inconsistency happens: all my 22 users get that geometry change except ONE. the user name "forums", which i use to read online forums, like LQ, for a specified geometry of 138x38 gets a geometry of 137x37. so all but "forums" gets 36 rows and "forums" gets 37 rows.
i did some fast switching between users and all the pixels of the first 36 rows are in exactly the same positions. at the bottom is some blank space while user "forums" gets a 37th row. i can't find any differences between user settings. there must be something i have set on "forums" that would do this. any ideas what that could be?
i did screen captures of users "skaperen" and "forums" so you could see the difference. these are 1920x1080:
