Same issue. Did a bisect and found the first bad commit to be c75d300f6f2589a6a8d8f4cc537f5e8a1be55de7.

@aliaksandr-trush, you seem to be the author of that change. Could you please take a look?

[aliaksandr-trush]

There is some issue with Wayland configure event that I am still investigating. Created issue for it: https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/6262

[jokeyrhyme]

I'm not sure if this belongs over in #6262 , but I think the issue (for me) is that my display is set to 125% scaling

When I reconfigure my compositor to use 100% scaling, the "inner window" much more closely fits the "outer window"

But for 125% or 200% scaling, the inner window only seems to fill the top-left quarter of the outer window

It's less obvious when you have tiling or maximised the window, but very obvious when the window is floating (but I think the problem is still present when tiled/maximised)

[LuisanaMTDev]

@jokeyrhyme yes it's, I have the issue when the window is maximised.

[nmilosev]

I have the same issue on Fedora 41 with Wayland and KDE 6.2.4.

As a temporary fix, the flatpak version is not affected (guessing it uses wayland-x11) :(

[aliaksandr-trush]

Looks like issue with refresh_frame() call. Could you verify how https://github.com/wez/wezterm/pull/6545 works for you?

[hexchain]

I no longer see any gaps with #6545 applied, under Plasma 6.2.5.

[jokeyrhyme]

Hmmm, I'm not sure, @fzhnf , but it doesn't look like #6545 has been merged yet

But ... I also don't know if the expectation is for issues to remain open until fixes have been merged ... :shrug:

on windows and i'm getting this issue with a thin border around every side notice the orange lines and top and left and white strips at the bottom

edit:

nevermind, my issue was because of overrides.window_decorations = 'INTEGRATED_BUTTONS|TITLE' causing some empty space.. i did some research and it seems to be a common issue. to get around this i made a callback for window-resized events:

function fullscreen_toggle(window, pane)
    local overrides = window:get_config_overrides() or {}
    local is_fullscreen = window:get_dimensions().is_full_screen
    
    if is_fullscreen then
        overrides.enable_tab_bar = false
        overrides.window_decorations = 'NONE'
	wezterm.log_info("Setting to fullscreen mode")
    else
        overrides.enable_tab_bar = true
        overrides.window_decorations = 'INTEGRATED_BUTTONS|TITLE'
    end
    
    window:set_config_overrides(overrides)
end

wezterm.on('window-resized', fullscreen_toggle)

current issue

the above solution works well for me except for when i fullscreen for the first time. for some odd reason, the first full screen successfully triggers the event as it should, but the transparent border persists. but when i exit full screen and then go back into it again, its gone (and stays that way for any subsequent full screen toggling). not sure why this is happening, will update if i figure this out.
