Description Sourish Basu 2016-06-21 04:13:20 UTC 
In my konsole, I have edited the current profile (Settings -> Edit current profile -> Terminal Size) to set a terminal size of 150 x 40. Also in Setttings -> Configure konsole -> General, I have disabled "Use current window size on next startup". As a results, when I start a new konsole process (either by hitting Alt+F2 then typing "konsole" or selecting from the K menu), it opens a 150 x 40 window, which is what I want.

However, if I have a running konsole process, and I want to open a new window either by selecting File -> New Window or hitting Ctrl+Shift+N, the new window is always 133 x 33. I can open as many new windows I like this way, they are always 133 x 33, and not 150 x 40, the size I want.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a konsole size of 150 x 40 in Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Terminal Size.
2. Disable "Use current window size on next startup" in Settings -> Configure Konsole -> General.
3. Start a new konsole process by either Alt+F2, then typing 'konsole' (on KDE), or selecting from the K menu.
4. Open a new window either by Ctrl+Shift+N or File -> New Window.
5. Compare the size of the new window with the existing one.

Actual Results:  
The original konsole window is 150x40. The new konsole window is 133x33.

Expected Results:  
The new konsole window should also be 150x40.

I am running Konsole 2.13.2 on KDE 4.13.3 in Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS.

I followed the steps to reproduce your issue and it worked as expected.
It still happens on your system?

I had filed this more than two years ago. In the meantime, I've updated to Ubuntu 18.04, which does not have this bug. I don't know if it still exists in 14.04.

Thanks for the feedback Sourish!
I will leave this as RESOLVED because it's rare it will occur again.
On the mean time, we should wait a developer to see the bug and decide on its status.
