Maximized Terminal's tab bar jumps up 1pix after switching to Terminal via Windows task bar

vadimkantorov commented 12 months ago

Windows Terminal version

1.18.2822.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.2715

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Switch to an existing Terminal by clicking on in task bar
Its top bar (which holds the tab switcher) noticeably jumps up 1 pixel or so

It seems that WinUI first draws some horizontal border on top of the Window, but then Terminal takes over and the top bar jumps up to take over that viewport space.

This jumping up is very strange.

Unfortunately, I could not record this problem via Win+G or Win+Alt+R because I could not figure out how to capture just the full screen instead of a single app.

Notepad.exe also has a tab bar but has no such jumping behavior. It's also worth noting, that the app minimize/maximize/cross of Notepad and Terminal are not perfectly aligned when switching between this app. There seems some minor 1pix difference, and also the app-exit cross icon of Terminal is bolder compared to Notepad

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

Interesting: switching to Terminal via Alt+Tab does not cause this 1pixel jumping - at least it's not visible. With switching via task bar this 1pixel flickering is very noticeable

For visibility, I am cross posting this comment from the other bug here: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/13679#issuecomment-1858816429

In summary, it would be great if the hidden taskbar detection code that's present in Windows Terminal would be made optional, as it has been causing issues for many users already apparently. As mentioned in the above link, it can even break apps drawing calculation on some screen resolutions and font size combinations. It really seems overthought and over engineered here, as there are tons of apps which do not aim at detecting the hidden status of the taskbar and that work perfectly under all conditions (maximized, fullscreen and all other window statuses).
