No.  This is the window that opened when I clicked on the terminal in 
the tool bar on the bottom of the desktop.

Reasonable in that it was doing everything I have come to expect in a 
terminal window.  Until I realized it was truncating output.

I will have to check out roxterm.

I did not do any resizing.  But thinking about it, I have been fighting 
with resolution between my laptop LCD and the external monitor.  That 
MAY have something to do with this; doing some 'under the covers' resizing.
