Window size is wrong in new tabs

Open LogicalJoe opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

When it opens a new tab (not window), the window sizing is wrong (it cuts off the bottom) as it maintains the original size. It is not corrected until the window is resized, or is pulled out into a new window. Screen Shot 2020-03-05 at 15 33 46 Screenshot should say enough. This also applies to the "TiLP2" tab as the window is resized but it doesn't acknowledge it. The setting that affects this (MacOS) is System Preferences>Dock>Prefer tabs when opening documents>Always.

Yeah, looks like GTK is all confused about sizes when the OS makes windows be tabs. Not sure this is really fixable on our side?

That sure looks ugly, but I don't know either whether TILP can do anything about it. It could make sense to test the GTK+3 build ?

Was able to repro on my master build. Tried it with GTK+3, it forces a new window despite the system tab setting set to Always, so the problem can't even happen. Oh well :)

Thanks for testing :) Well, then we can't do much about it with GTK+2.

Well there's probably a way, like calling the resize handler manually or some silly trick like that.
