bug#18480: 24.3.93; Popups "broken" with lines of different heights

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

As demo'ed with this Org file, enabling completion mechanisms such as AC
or Company shows graphical glitches when themes have heights != 1.0.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: ECM for popup
#+DATE: \today

* Context

When using a theme (such as Leuven theme) with different heights, the completion
popups are graphically broken.

* Title inserted here on purpose

The above title spreads away part of the nice popup window.

** Other subtitle

Foo.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

- http://screencast.com/t/OgP9vMBobjV for Company

See http://screencast.com/t/NNKTO7Nrivz:
- first enabling only AC mode
- then only Company mode

Best regards,
Seb

Since neither of these packages is part of Emacs, I think you should
report this to the respective developers instead.

Since Company is part of GNU ELPA, I think it's OK to report its bugs here.
In any case, I'm pretty sure this is a known limitation that will only
be lifted when those packages start using "lightweight frames" or "GUI
menus" or something like that, and I think those will require changes to
the C code.

Maybe so, but I think the respective developers should first be given
chance to fix this or improve it, if they can.  Only if the developers
come to the conclusion that there are fundamental problems that
prevent the solution, then they should come here with the details.

Alternatively, the OP could look into the sources and make sure these
are not simple bugs in those packages, then explain all that in the
report.

Failing any of these, I don't see how filing this report can be of any
use.  I mean, who will look at this?

To the extent that I'd like to fold the core of Company into Emacs, we
will ;-)

Just to ask: are we closing this?

FWIW, I'd still like to hear from the maintainers of the respective
packages.  I don't see any of them speak their mind about this bug
report.

Thanks.

The bug is still present.

Clément is looking into the alternatives, and it seems like he'll end up 
implementing the necessary changes in the core himself.

Thanks.  So I think we should leave this open and wait for the
resolution.
