Hi All, For the last few weeks I have had an abormal problem with my gnome-terminal windows. The version I am running is: gnome-terminal-2.16.0-2.fc6 When I load the terminal by going "Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal". The window loads in the non-maximised mode (i.e. it does NOT take up all of the screen ... I am sure there is a technical word to explain this phenomenon :P ). When the window is like this I can happily enter commands and interact with my system. But, as soon as I maximise the windows (Alt + F10) the window becomes inactive and anything I type does not appear in the terminal window. If I restore the window to its non-maximise mode (Alt + F5) all the characters I entered into the terminal while it was maximised now appear at the command prompt (even though they weren't there when it was maximised). I was wondering if anyone has run into something like this? Perhaps a bugzilla entry is required.
I hadn't tried it before--I mostly maximize windows to unwrap lines containing URLs so I can click them. But now that you mention it, I do see that behavior when I try to enter text on a maximized terminal window. Happens with Beryl as the window manager too.
I'd file a bug, if I were you.
Thanks you all for your assistance. Cheers, Tony Crouch
