Worth to note that it works correctly in fullscreen mode

Does it make a difference if you try what I mentioned in https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/1844#issuecomment-822839949 ?

[mastier]

@fedevx yes! that's a workaround :-) When I push the height slider to the very end it starts working as expected

any value below the max cause window to stuck on the upper screen barely visible on the bottom. Pixel margin does not change the thing (here 10, might 0, or whatever)

@fedevx I don't want to open another similar issue, so will ask here. I have the same problem with guake but after switching to wayland. And I can't fix it as you suggested with Height setting. It always stays at zero, and manually entering a number doesn't change anything. And another strange thing is once it opens in the middle of a screen and other time it covers full screen except top panel. Ubuntu 21.10

@monte-monte slider and values are not related, height is height, on far right you have the "Offset in pixels" as value. For me just moving the height slider to the very end helps. Yet I have not tried on Wayland.
