Alignment issues with Conky (using --lineart=ascii and --lineart=unicode)

[logix2]

Using gcalcli (it's the same using version 4.0.4 and latest gcalcli version installed using PIP) with --conky (with Conky 1.10.8), and --lineart=ascii in the month view (calm), the ascii line above the month name (at the top of the widget) is misaligned.

With lineart=unicode it gets worse, having not only the line above the month name misaligned, but part of the last bottom line is also missing. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/fPuSA0H.png

P.s.: thanks for this great tool!

Thanks for the report!

I can't seem to reproduce this generally. It may be that there's something specific about your calendar which triggers the poor alignment. I understand you may not want to share your calendar for privacy reasons, but maybe you can figure out some repro steps (ie, how to create a set of events which triggers the bug).

Also, just to be clear, you've reprod this with 4.1.1 as well?

Actually it also happens with an empty calendar, with both ascii and unicode, the only difference between an empty calendar and my initial calendar being that the bottom line is not misaligned when using --lineart-=unicode, but the top line is still broken in both.

And yes, it happens with 4.1.1 too (installed with PIP3).

This is my Conky (using Conky 1.10.8, which is in both Ubuntu 18.04 and 19.04) configuration in case it matters:

conky.config = {
    background = true,
    update_interval = 1.5,
    cpu_avg_samples = 2,
    net_avg_samples = 2,
    out_to_console = false,
    override_utf8_locale = true,
    double_buffer = true,
    no_buffers = true,
    text_buffer_size = 32768,
    imlib_cache_size = 0,
    own_window = true,
    own_window_type = 'desktop',
    own_window_argb_visual = true,
    own_window_argb_value = 120,
    own_window_hints = 'undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
    border_inner_margin = 10,
    border_outer_margin = 0,
    xinerama_head = 1,
    alignment = 'top_right',
    gap_x = 90,
    gap_y = 90,
    draw_shades = true,
    draw_outline = false,
    draw_borders = false,
    draw_graph_borders = false,
    use_xft = true,
    font = 'Ubuntu Mono:size=12',
    xftalpha = 0.8,
    uppercase = false,
    default_color = '#FFFFFF',
    own_window_colour = '#000000',
    minimum_width = 0, minimum_height = 0,
};

conky.text = [[
    ${execpi 300 gcalcli --conky --lineart=unicode calm --monday}
]];

I used the same configuration back when I was using gcalcli 4.0.0a3 (which had --nolineart instead of --lineart=...), and the same Conky 1.10.8, and it worked with no issues.

change this

conky.text = [[
    ${execpi 300 gcalcli --conky --lineart=unicode calm --monday}
]];

to this

conky.text = [[
${execpi 300 gcalcli --conky --lineart=unicode calm --monday}
]];

Indeed, the alignment fixes it. Thanks!
