My understanding is that in AT-SPI2 there is no separate representation for
terminals. Thus terminals are represented as simple text fields, which is
actually a horrible hack.

BRLTTY for examples determines the "terminal" width by counting the length of
all lines in the text and assumes that the longest line is as wide as the
terminal.

So the terminal implementation should pad all lines with the right amount of
space. I don't know if vte is willing to implement this or not.

Long time ago I debugged these issues alot and reported them to VTE. They
never reacted to my bug reports in any way.
