Terminal changes between Ubuntu versions

[Daniel van Vugt]

Augusto,

There are some off-by-one pixel rendering bugs in mutter (gnome-shell) at the 
moment, which can occur inside app windows and might be related. Please report a 
bug by running:

   ubuntu-bug gnome-shell

and attach a screenshot of the problem to it.

- Daniel
