I think that depends on your POV and whether you are happy to abandon using your preferred terminal dimensions. Even when I finally get to run 4.8 it'll take a long time to forgive http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=176902 - a small thing, maybe, but it left a bad taste in my mouth long after the showstopper bugs in 4.0 were fixed.

P.S. the reason it upset me so much is that konsole is the one KDE app I use *constantly* and for essential tasks, and until my distro gave me KDE 4.0 it had been by far the best terminal emulator I used. Adding lots of flaky eye candy was annoying, but it got less flaky and could be disabled. Adding flaky eye candy *and* breaking the single app I rely on? ... grrrr!

What I don't understand about this bug: why didn't it affect me? I use konsole every day and ususally to edit files in vim. And the konsole windows usually have far more than 24 lines.
Did the window have to be exactly 80x40 to cause the bug?

Yes, it only happens for 80x40, so the workaround is "just" to stop using that size.
