#117 When dragging a tab from one window to another, the tab size shrinks.
There is a follow of an old (2012) bug #86:
Version affected 2.9.5 GTK3.
Expected behavior: When dragging a tab to another window, all tabs are of equal size.
Actual behavior: When dragging a tab from one window to another, the tab size shrinks. The only text displayed on it is "..."
Classified in #86 as won't-fix
Temporary fix: drop your tabs over the main part of the target window instead of the tab bar.
The (temporary?) fix should be put in the manual in the Drag & Drop section, as it is a true annoyance making the whole window unusable when it affects many tabs.

vte 0.38 changed some APIs around geometry handling. See https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-terminal/issues/66, part 2 of the 4 patches I created, it might give an idea and might be relevant for roxterm.
That looks as if it's about the size of the vte widget. This bug is about the tab label.
The bug you fixed in mate-terminal could be related to this one in gnome-terminal:
