Subject: emacs (gtk version) and geometry weirdness
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 23:26:07 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <75cbc063-7f16-468e-bf1d-f0dee4026e5c@g6g2000pro.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Emacs's geometry behaves very weirdly if I'm using the GTK version.
1. When I run emacs with --geometry 80x45, I get one of two geometries
at random (80x45 and 80x43). I just tried this 15 times in a row, and
got a 7-8 breakup. I have the same setting in my .Xresources. I have
menu-bar turned on. I'm sure I did not encounter this problem when the
menu-bar was turned off.
2. I then tried the following: in emacs, I keep toggling menu-bar
mode, and my window keeps shrinking! After doing this a few times, I'm
now down to 80x33.
Perhaps this is a problem with GTK or Emacs' use of GTK. I've filed a
bug using Emacs' own bug-filing mechanism, but I'm wondering if anyone
knows a work-around.
Version (from the splash screen): GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
(running on Ubuntu 10.04)
