Gnome Terminal does not open completely maximized

[rdong8]

(1) Issue/Bug Description:

Gnome Terminal does not open completely maximized. Specifically on the bottom and right sides, the window edges don't extend completely to the edge of the screen.

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):

Open Gnome Terminal when Pop Shell tiling is enabled on Ubuntu 21.10 (does not occur on Pop!_OS). When Smart Gaps is disabled, it's only really the bottom edge that is out of place. When Smart Gaps is enabled, both the right and bottom edges of the window do not meet the screen edge. Occurs even when gaps are set to 0.

(3) Expected behavior:

Gnome Terminal is completely maximized like with other programs

GNOME Terminal's resizing is awkward in that it is "discrete", not "continuous".
It's window must be the size of an integer number of lines and an integer number of columns. The space you have down the bottom of the screen is likely not enough to fit an additional line, so GNOME Terminal just doesn't resize to it.

Any idea what Pop!_OS does to get around this? I have two laptops with identical screens, but the one with Pop!_OS sizes Gnome Terminal just fine but the one with Ubuntu + Pop Shell can't

As far as I know, this GNOME Terminal limitation cannot be circumvented. It was even mentioned by other extensions that provide similar functionality.
You may have different scaling settings or font sizes on your laptops.

I think it's this patch.
