Pad size (pixels) not used by Cygwin minTTY shells

[valentinbrasov]

Problem description

The Pad size (pixels) is used by DOS shells, but not by Cygwin minTTY shells. As you can see in the attached image, the top and left margins Cygwin minTTY shell are eaten by the frame and increasing the Pad size (pixels) from 4 to 40 did not help (in fact it did not do anything).

My display resolution is 1920 x 1080, my display orientation is landscape and the text scalling is 100%. Operating system: Windows 10 64 bit.

That is by design. Neither of console options has effect on ChlildGui applications. That is just impossible. https://conemu.github.io/en/ChildGui.html

You have only two ways: don't use mintty and run proper console application or configure mintty itself.

@Maximus5 I figured out why and when the left and top edges of the Cygwin window are "eaten": if you have more than one monitor and they have DIFFERENT text scaling configured in Windows Display settings, your app always uses the scaling from the primary monitor, even if you start the ConEmu app on a secondary monitor. So, in this case with different resolutions and text scalling across monitors (like a laptop monitor and 1 external monitor), I always prefer to start and use ConEmu on the bigger external monitor, while having the laptop monitor set as primary one and I then run into the "edges eaten" problem for cygwin. Also, even if you think of starting the ConEmu on the primary screen and moving it to the secondary screen afterwards, it also does not cope well with that case either in case of screens with different resolutions and especially different text scaling. Can you change ConEmu to use the text scaling of the monitor on which it is started? If you can do that, then you will fix the "edges eaten" problem for screens with different text scaling.

I will take a look
