Emacs GUI / gnome-terminal difficult to resize #187

Closed danielyzli closed 4 years ago

danielyzli commented 5 years ago

Using resize bindings (Super + R and Super + Shift + R) don't really affect emacs GUI window. Also, emacs GUI window bottom edge doesn't line up with the bottom of all other windows.

danielyzli commented 5 years ago

Just tested gnome-terminal, it also doesn't respond well to Super + R. Perhaps the emacs GUI inherits the issue from gnome-terminal

Yeah, apps that don't do pixel resizing have some sharp edges. We simply don't have access to the necessary information from javascript unfortunately: https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM/issues/106

For emacs you want to set this (setq frame-resize-pixelwise t) to make it well behaved. I'd recommend tilix as a alternative to gnome-terminal (it also handles zoom in a sane manner).

olejorgenb commented 5 years ago

The cycle actions (eg. Super + R) allow for some slack when determining the next size, but if the resize increment is larger than this slack they might get stuck.

We could check the size after resize and issue a new slightly larger/smaller resize if the window didn't respond :thinking:

@hedning resize is synchronous for Xwayland windows?

Yeah, Xwayland windows operate as if they're on X11 IIRC.

Thanks! The fix worked! Can close now :smile: Just wanted to say (a trick I figured out for fellow tilix users), you can get a clean Open Tilix Here and no Open Terminal Here duplicate in Nautilus file manager context menus by apt install nautilus-python && apt remove nautilus-extension-gnome-terminal
