Gnome-Terminal always opens maximised

I have a small but annoying problem that I just can't figure out.
I have two installations of Ubuntu 18.04. One on my laptop, one on my desktop.
Whenever I open gnome-terminal on my desktop it defaults to being a maximised window. I know some people like it maximised by default (and there are plenty of forum posts etc. advising how this might be done), but I personally want it to appear in a small window.
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get it to let go of this behavior. I checked the Man pages for command line arguments I might specify, but nothing. I don't know where it has picked up this habit.
Anyone care to enlighten me as to where the application might be getting this instruction? And how I might turn it off?
EDIT - Just to mention, if I create another user account and log in with that, this does not happen. As such, something in my own profile must be driving it.. just not sure where to look.

80 columns, 24 rows. I hit "Reset" and it did not change.

Nautilus normally remembers the last Window size. If a window size is near to filling the screen, Gnome Shell (used by Ubuntu 18.04) will automatically maximize. This can be turned of in org.gnome.mutter auto-maximize

@vanadium This worked! I used dconf-editor to set that to false. I still don't quite understand why, as surely every time I unmaximised the window and closed it the stored window size would have changed.... but... whatever, that setting fixed my issue.
