Resizing terminal windows freezes them

[noraef]

Hi,

I've noticed a weird bug. When I resize a terminal window (tested with xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal), the terminal display will freeze (ctrl+L, to reset and clean it, doesn't even work), with weird display bugs (the window clearly stops refreshing, and the decorations that moved may persist, or the wallpaper may show- see screenshot). If I minimize it and restore it, then it will unfreeze. If I change its tiling place (say, side tile to main tile, or vice versa), it will unfreeze.

The weirdest thing is if I resize the window next to the terminal instead of the terminal itself, there is no freezing bug on the terminal window at all. Say, a terminal on the left of firefox (the latter being the main window):

• if I resize the terminal, it will freeze
• if I resize firefox, the terminal doesn't freeze, and if it was frozen (after having been resized), it will unfreeze (which is really weird)

All that is on XFCE+cortile, fwiw.

Please add some more infos of the terminal and xfce version you are using and provide the first few lines from the cortile log file.

xfce4-terminal is 1.1.4 and XFCE itself is 4.18.

See the attached log: I just restarted cortile with the -v option, resized a terminal next to a firefox window, and minimized/maximized the terminal to unfreeze it (hope this helps)

Hi @noraef

As a workaround you can use the keyboard short-cuts to modify the master-slave proportion (Ctrl+Shift+KP_3 & KP_1 for inc. decr).

Thanks @mark-cooke : it does work too. It's only when resizing with the mouse, that the terminal often freezes.
