Description:
gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal are both affected by the problem that their line height grows noticeably (Check the height of the highlighted lines in the screenshots) after upgrading to vte3 0.64.0-1. Downgrading vte3 to 0.62.3 alone is enough to recover the original behaviour. The font used in the screenshot is DejaVu Sans Mono in 12px. GNOME text-scaling-factor is set to 1.25x Additional info: * package version(s) vte3 0.64.0-1 gnome-terminal 3.40.0-1 * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: 1. Upgrade vte3 to 0.64.0-1 2. Open a terminal that uses vte3. |

So the line height was "wrong" before (it was a guess made by looking at the size of certain characters) and is "correct" now (as specified in the font).
So it's working as intended, and surely is an improvement. However I still dislike that extra line height and might have to file a feature request against these terminal emulators to allow line height scaling factor less than 1.00 in preferences. Nevertheless, Thank you for your insight ;)
