Border_width ignored on top and bottom borders

[R0CKH0PP3R]

What happened?

Upgraded from v1.19.7 to 1.21.1 on Manjaro and the top and bottom borders are no longer rendered as expected. You can see the differences between the two below, with v1.19.7 on the left: I have noticed that 1.21.2 was released earlier today and the appimage for that exhibits the same issue. I also see much talk about dpi & Wayland recently; I'm at 96 dpi on X11 should it matter.

Can you try running latest main branch to check whether this is fixed?

[R0CKH0PP3R]

As of commit 12da795, the issue remains.

[Caellian]

Assigning self as I probably broke it in #1862 with changes to src/conky.cc.

[alhazacod]

Im not sure if it's the same issue but it seems pretty close

This is how it should looks like (v1.20.2)

This is how it looks like in v 1.21.2. The clock is chopped

And this is how it looks like in v1.21.3 the chopped clock is fixed but it's not centered

Just tried version 1.21.3 on Arch Linux, still the same issue.

v.1.21.3

[alirezaalavi87]

the bottom being clipped looks fixed for me in v1.21.3-pre-9f830224

[Caellian]

Can someone try out latest version of the main branch? @agorgl submitted a fix (#1980) which affects text size calculation so it might also be the fix for this issue. If it's fixed we'd create a new version, otherwise I'll look into fixing this before releasing.

@Caellian I'm on v1.21.3-pre-9f830224 and everything is working ok for me

[ghost]

@Caellian

I've been doing some testing side by side with the latest conky source, and 1.19.7 (which I can confirm doesn't have this bug).

Looking at all the values in this function:

output->draw_rect(text_offset.x() + text_start.x() - offset,
                          text_offset.y() + text_start.y() - offset,
                          text_size.x() + 2 * offset,
                          text_size.y() + 2 * offset);

They are all identical apart from text_start.y() (previously text_start_y), which is (for me) 5 on 1.19.7, and 0 on latest.

Running both versions at the same time, I noticed that the latest version seems to be missing 5 pixels from the top, and 5 from the bottom.

Manually changing text_offset.y() to 5 in that function does add in a border at the top, but not at the bottom.
Notably it also doesn't fix the 10 missing pixels, there are still 5 missing at the top and 5 missing at the bottom.

Update: I think the issue might be with calls to conky::vec2i::uniform. For example in conky.cc (line 908):

int border_total = get_border_total();
text_start = conky::vec2i::uniform(border_total);

The vec text_start will end up as {x:5, y:0}, when in 1.19.7, the equivalent variables text_start_x and text_start_y would both be 5 because of this line:

text_start_x = text_start_y = border_total;

It can be fixed like this: text_start.set_y(text_start.x());

I'm not sure if it's a bug with uniform, as based on the name I would expect it to set both x and y to the same value, but it just sets x to the provided value and y to 0.

There are two places I could find this issue, the other was in display_x11.cc (line 279) with this line:

vec2i border_total = vec2i::uniform(get_border_total());

Which can be fixed in a similar way:

vec2i border_total = vec2i::uniform(get_border_total());
border_total.set_y(border_total.x());

Making these 2 changes seems to fix both the 10 missing pixels, and the borders return to the top and bottom.

[Caellian]

I'm not sure if it's a bug with uniform, as based on the name I would expect it to set both x and y to the same value, but it just sets x to the provided value and y to 0.

Yup, that's the bug. Thank you for debugging this, you've simplified the process on my side 99%.

  static inline vec<T, Length> uniform(T x) {
    return vec<T, Length>(std::array<T, Length>{x});
  }

I incorrectly assumed array constructor to work like vec![value; size] in Rust but it just keeps the remaining Length - 1 values default initialized.

[Caellian]

Everyone do you mind testing the latest main branch? I believe this issue should be resolved. Thanks again @randomcoder67.

git clone https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky.git conky_test_dir
cd conky_test_dir
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build
./build/src/conky

EDIT: updated branch after merging

[Caellian]

Merged the PR into main so clone that branch instead.

I'm re-opening this issue until someone reports it's ok to close.

[MeisterP]

Commit ac25fcce8bb16aadc7a613ac979504e4a51cc639 on top of conky-1.21.4 fixes the issue for me. Thanks.

[R0CKH0PP3R]

I can also confirm that the issue is resolved. Thanks to all involved. :)
