bug#24707: 25.1; Window shrinks automatically after opening at normal size

["Ivor Durham" <ivor.durham@ivor.cc>]

So I can think of a couple of ways to try to diagnose this:
- Enable telnet into the workstation and use it instead of ssh so I can
capture unencrypted network traffic with Wireshark to see if the X protocol
communication reveals anything unusual.
- Try to build a debugging version of Emacs 25.1 locally, reproduce the
problem and then use gdb to break on whatever resize calls there are to find
what parameters are being passed and where they come from. I know nothing
about the Emacs implementation so this could be a bit of a time sink.

Any other ideas on how I should approach this?

That's why I think it's a different problem, specific to that server and/or
the rest of your remote setup.
