Description

I am experiencing exactly this bug: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1932882?start=0&tstart=0

In the comments it says using a different theme (Basic for example) makes the problem disappear. Indeed it does, but when I am using the Mathias theme the bug is there every time.

I am experiencing this bug with the IR_Black theme as well.

Does someone know what in the theme is causing it and how to fix it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Apple Discussions report and comparing the Mathias and IR_Black themes with the Basic theme in macOS Terminal. Identify the theme setting associated with the height change, then verify that opening tabs no longer shrinks the terminal window.
