When I disable the tool bar before entering the Gnus Summary buffer and
then re-enable it while in that buffer, it appears as an 8-pixel high
empty strip below the menu bar. When I switch to another buffer, the
tool bar is displayed normally but the frame height increases by two
lines, and when I switch back to the Gnus Summary buffer the tool bar
again appears as an empty strip and the frame height stays at the new
height; this pattern can be repeated and each time the frame height
increases. I see the same thing when the tool bar is displayed at the
bottom of the frame; if it is displayed on the left or right side of the
frame, the frame width increases instead of the height.
I see this in builds from emacs-25 and master, as well as in 24.5, all
64-bit GNU/Linux, GTK+ Version 3.14.15 (not built --with-cairo). In the
24.5 build, when switching back to the Gnus Summary buffer, the console
displays a message like this:
(emacs:4487): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkToolbar 0x313ca90 reported min size 42
and natural size 8 in get_preferred_width(); natural size must be >= min
size
There is no such message with the emacs-25 or master builds. (In the
latter two builds, the initial frame height is 36 and increases to 38;
in the 24.5 build, the initial height is 35 and increases to 37.)
I haven't seen this issue with any other buffer than the Gnus Summary
buffer. Moreover, if I disable the tool bar only after entering the
Gnus Summary buffer and then re-enable it there, the tool bar is
displayed in that buffer normally and there is no resizing after
switching away and back.
To reproduce, start emacs with -Q and evaluate the following sexp in
*scratch*:

Tested with both release version and current master/trunk. With GTK

case, the frame has the same height before and after executing this

I did in fact see this lack of height change, but only once among the
probably dozens of times I executed that code before filing the bug
report; I was surprised but since I couldn't reproduce it, I thought it
was a fluke. All the other times, *Messages* showed this with emacs-25
and master:

With 24.5 the frame height numbers were 35 (five times) followed by 37
(twice).
When the tool bar was enabled in the Gnus Summary buffer, did you see it
displayed as I describe in the OP: an empty 8-pixel high strip?

‘frame-height’ is not necessarily a reliable reflection of what you see
on screen.

No. I see a 35-pixel high strip. With the following definitions
adapted from yours

and `eval-buffer' of these in an emacs -Q of the release version I get

Back to Summary buffer; frame pixel height: 657 toolbar height: 35
Final; frame pixel height: 648 toolbar height: 44
You can run the command ‘eval-buffer’ with M-x ev-b RET
Final; frame pixel height: 648 toolbar height: 44
So the "empty strips" here have a height of 35 pixels while the "normal"
toolbar has 44 pixels. BTW, before getting the "Tool bar enabled"
message I briefly see some toolbar contents flashing and getting erased
immediately thereafter.
The entire frame height doesn't change here probably due to rounding and
size hints. However, when I set `frame-resize-pixelwise' to t it
changes as follows:
Emacs started; frame pixel height: 648 toolbar height: 44
Gnus started; frame pixel height: 648 toolbar height: 44

Back to Summary buffer; frame pixel height: 666 toolbar height: 35
Final; frame pixel height: 666 toolbar height: 44
So the pixel height of my frame has increased by 18 (2 times 9 pixels
from the difference between 44 and 35).
What do you get with my modifications?

I assume you mean from emacs-25? With 24.5 I get "Symbol's function

I didn't consciously notice that before, but now that you mention it, I
do see that too.

Because of rounding. Tool bar, menu bar and scroll bars do not have
necessarily sizes that are multiples of a frame's default character
size. And often you're losing pixels when the frame gets maximized or
‘frame-resize-pixelwise’ is non-nil during resizing.

Everything that counts in pixels like ‘frame-pixel-height’.

Not here. I get 648 and 44 in both cases.

So your frame has grown by 90 pixels. Remarkable. BTW setting
‘frame-inhibit-implied-resize’ to t would avoid that.

Here all lines are the same, again.
The problem is not GTK specific. Lucid and Motif behave similarly. I
suppose that just enabling ‘tool-bar-mode’ is not sufficient to make a
gnus tool bar once gnus has started. Maybe this deficiency is inherent
to ‘tool-bar-mode’ itself. But it would be interesting to find out
who's responsible for making such small (8 pixels in your, 35 pixels in
my case) tool bars in the first place.

Do you still see this on Emacs master now? There have been quite a few
pixel-sizing fixes applied to Emacs over the past year...

Yes, with (a gtk3 build of) current master I still get frame resizing
both with my original recipe and with Martin's pixelwise adjustment.
For the latter, here are the outputs
with frame-resize-pixelwise nil:

OK, I'm trying to reproduce this in Emacs 28, and... I'm getting all
kinds of strangeness.
I usually don't use tool bars, but if I just enter a summary mode buffer
and say M-x tool-bar-mode, then I don't actually get a tool bar -- I
just get a ~10-pixel high grey stripe at the top.
This may be because gnus-summary-tool-bar is
'gnus-summary-tool-bar-retro?
If, on the other hand, I switch tool-bar-mode on before starting Gnus,
then I do get a tool bar, and that variable is
'gnus-summary-tool-bar-gnome.
This is because
(defcustom gnus-summary-tool-bar (if (eq gmm-tool-bar-style 'gnome)
'gnus-summary-tool-bar-gnome
'gnus-summary-tool-bar-retro)
and
(defcustom gmm-tool-bar-style
(if (and (boundp 'tool-bar-mode)
tool-bar-mode
(not (memq (display-visual-class)
(list 'static-gray 'gray-scale
'static-color 'pseudo-color))))
'gnome
'retro)
"Preferred tool bar style."
:type '(choice (const :tag "GNOME style" gnome)
(const :tag "Retro look" retro))
:group 'gmm)
so that's set at load time, and depends on whether you've switched tool
bar mode on or not before loading the file. Which seems less than
optimal...
Anyway, is this a different bug than what you were all talking about?
:-)

It seems like the same bug, or at least related. In any case, when I
run the test code Martin posted in <578754F3.9060800@gmx.at> on a
currentish (2020-07-01) build from master, I get similar but not
identical results to those I got two years ago:
Emacs started; frame pixel height: 612 toolbar height: 41
Gnus started; frame pixel height: 612 toolbar height: 41

Moreover, I get these exact same results regardless of whether
frame-resize-pixelwise it nil or t, which is different from two years
ago, and also when I set gmm-tool-bar-style to 'gnome or
gnus-summary-tool-bar to 'gnus-summary-tool-bar-gnome before evaluating
the test code.

If you switch tool-bar-mode on before starting Gnus (well, before
loading anything else), do you get a proper tool bar in Gnus buffers?
In that case, I think we're seeing the same thing...

Hm! If I call
(gnus-summary-make-tool-bar)
after switching tool-bar-mode on (in the summary buffer), I then get a
proper tool bar.

As somebody who doesn't use tool bars normally, I'm wondering -- do we
really need two different tool bar styles in Gnus? Can't we just rip
out the `retro' stuff and thing will possibly be less confusing?

I stopped regularly using tool bars a while ago, and even before I don't
think I knew about the Gnus retro tool bar... so as far as I'm
concerned, rip away!

I'm wondering whether the -gnome tool bare really are connected to Gnome
in any way (i.e., they can only be used when Emacs is compiled with the
gtk toolkit), or whether they're just "Gnome-style".
If it's the latter, we can rip out the other ones, I guess, but not if
it's the former...

Perhaps somebody on the Gnus mailing list has some input here.
To recap -- there's some bugs in enabling the Summary mode tool bar,
because there's some setup being done at Gnus load time. This can be
fixed, I'm just wondering whether the proper fix here is to simplify the
code.
There's currently two tool bars for Gnus summary mode:
gnus-summary-tool-bar-retro
gnus-summary-tool-bar-gnome
I propose to get rid of the -retro one. Does anybody object to that?
Or is the -gnome tool bar really specific to Gnome, and it won't work on
other OS-es or something?

Nobody objected in a year, so I've now done so in Emacs 29.
