Massive scroll bar

[ar1a]

Not sure how to reproduce though

[ar1a]

from someone else

[AloisJanicek]

I have exactly same problem. I was unable to reproduce it in more vanilla emacs config, but changing this line https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/blob/6e047e6fd7226a1b8292a74985db82bbccc679c7/company-box.el#L580 to this

          '((side . right) (window-width . 0.1)))))

sets width of scrollbar reliably to 32 pixels. I can live with that.

[smallzhan]

same issue here, @AloisJanicek changing "side window-width" to 0.1 doesn't help, but it seems harder to reproduce with 0.1 width. Now I totally remove the scrollbar...

How do you fully disable the scrollbar? Can you show the hack code? @smallzhan

[smallzhan]

@forrestchang please refer to the gist here https://gist.github.com/smallzhan/4f8a558790133d269d5658ea85d50bf1

detailed modification:
in line 535, set the scrollbar width to 0 in fuction "company-box--update-width", then delete all the lines of calling to the function "company-box--update-scrollbar"

I still have the scrollbar whereas I copied @smallzhan's gist

I use doom and I replaced company-box.el in ~/.emacs.d/.local/packages/elpa/company-box-xxxxx/

@Majenful you should remove the company-box.elc then use the gist code .i tried it ,it will remove the scrollbar.

[stardiviner]

I'm still got this issue. Seem no update on company-box anymore. Is there anyone want to maintain a fork?

[geza-herman]

For me, setting window-resize-pixelwise to nil (that's the default value) fixed the issue.

[sebastiencs]

I think https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/commit/ce8f569f9449f9a1ec1e43ee5f3e5b72cd6b0b04 might fix the issue. If anyone can test

[sebastiencs]

https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/commit/7c05cfd1cb32f161c7de1efb168b597880500473 might fix that issue too

[graphcareful]

I can confirm that the fix doesn't work for me. I also tried disabling golden-ratio-mode and when opening a company-box buffer I still see the issue.

[sebastiencs]

@graphcareful Can you please share some information about your configuration. Which OS are you using, window manager ? How did you configure company-box ? Is your .emacs.d public by any chance ?

[graphcareful]

Hi , I am using spacemacs, on Fedora 32, default window manager gnome3. I am configuring company-box like this: (auto-completion :variables auto-completion-use-company-box t)

I am not sure how company- and autocomplete- are supposed to work together. At first I suspected maybe two packages had conflicting configurations, but then I came here and noticed others having the same exact problem. I will try to replicate with a base spacemacs configuration.

[sebastiencs]

@graphcareful I just installed spacemacs to test, the only modification I made is:

I then ran [M-x] company-box, and the scrollbar is correct:

So there is a package or customization that cause this issue. If you could try to disable some package/customization made to find the culprit, that would be great

[sebastiencs]

@graphcareful Can you please set company-box-debug-scrollbar to t, use company-box and post the logs in the *messages* buffer

(setq company-box-debug-scrollbar t)

[graphcareful]

You beat me to it :) was about to do the same thing. Yes, i'll try to find the offending package and paste the logs when I find.

[graphcareful]

So I tried to emulate your exact settings and I am still seeing the issue.

try scrolling down with page down when there are many items to replicate.

Here are some of the logs you requested. They appeared when I am seeing the issue:

[sebastiencs]

@graphcareful Thanks !

Your issue seems different than the others

• Does the scrollbar always have a wrong size ? If not, did you notice when it happens (after the frame is resized, when you make the scrollbar moving, ...)
• When it has a wrong size, does it always have the same wrong size ? (width)
• I see that the documentation frame is on top of the frame with candidates, is that always the case ?
• Since the doc frame hides part of the other frame, I can't see the width of the scrollbar (the purple horizontal bar), does it go until the very end of the frame ? Could you post another screenshot with the scrollbar fully visible. A video/gif would be great
• How did you install emacs ? With dnf or you compiled it. If compiled, what branch and commit are you on, and which flags did you use

The logs you shared seem correct so we probably need to dig a bit more

[graphcareful]

In this stripped down config that only has autocomplete-mode and company-box installed...

• The scrollbar size changes as I scroll down. Initially it always starts with the correct size. Eventually as I scroll down it becomes wider and changes, sometimes disappearing then reappearing with a different size, sometimes it just changes from wide to even wider, then back again.
• Nope it changes like I described above
• The doc frame seems to be always at the same y position however sometimes it appears further off to the right leaving a space between the end of the frame and the beginning of the docframe
• Ok!
• I compile emacs from scratch using the feature/nativecomp branch, I am currently on or near the tip of the master branch. I have a crude script that does it for me here: https://github.com/graphcareful/reimage/blob/master/scripts/install_emacs.bash#L72

[sebastiencs]

@graphcareful Thank you for the detailed answer.

It looks like to be an emacs bugs, or an issue with your window manager and/or compositor: The frame is always keeping the same width, it should change. The frame for the documentation has a position which depends on the candidates frame width. The doc position is correct, so internally emacs has the correct width, but it doesn't update the display for the candidates frame.

Can you try to set company-box-debug-scrollbar to t with https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/commit/97475e4a989bfc52cdc1e4f86e5abf34c77b18be The logs will confirm if it's an emacs bug.

https://github.com/sebastiencs/company-box/commit/2c35a725682442034f9d180d1f543c508cab3fb4 might fix your issue, but I don't put much hope on it.

I tried the branch feature/nativecomp but I failed to used it with spacemacs, getting lots of errors like https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/13957 Could you try on the master branch, without --with-nativecomp ?

[graphcareful]

@sebastiencs ok i'll try without nativecomp as well

[akermu]

For me it's the same issue as described here https://github.com/tumashu/company-posframe/issues/2. Setting x-gtk-resize-child-frames to 'hide or 'resize-mode fixes the issue.
