Bug Description
MATE Terminal windows shrink themselves every time they lose or gain focus, when CSD is enabled.
This screen recording demonstrates the problem: https:/
GTK_CSD=1 in the environment. Running MATE Terminal by any means (the screen recording uses Alt+F2) initially appears to work fine, but whenever focus is switched to another window (with either the mouse or Alt+Tab) the MATE Terminal window shrinks slightly. Then slightly more when it regains focus.
The video shows GNOME Terminal being run as the other window; it retains its size. But the other application can be anything at all.
This doesn't happen with GTK_CSD=0; MATE Terminal windows then leave their size alone.
The shrinking behaviour started happening since I upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, from 18.04 LTS. The mate-terminal package is version 1.24.0-2ubuntu1.
To demonstrate the problem and eliminate config in my account being the problem, I created a new account to check the bug exists there (it does) and record the video. The computer has the gtk3-nocsd package installed, but in /etc/X11/
export GTK_CSD=1
