That makes considerable sense, I think the problem appears when an lxterminal session running top on the remote host exits ungracefully. But: I can find a "reset zoom" command in lxterminal, but the man page does not contain the word "reset". Nor does top's man page. Is "reset zoom" what you're suggesting? For the moment I'm not seeing the problem, so it's hard to experiment. If by reset you mean kill the tab and re-open it, yes, that works...
