Reproduction with Emacs 29.3 (also with git master HEAD, see below).

Run: emacs -Q
C-x 5 2 ; window opens the same size as the initial window
M-x menu-bar-mode RET ; disable menu-bar-mode
C-x 52 ; window opens much smaller than initial window

With master HEAD (commit 92ea393a16e), the situation is slightly different:

Run: emacs -Q
C-x 52 ; window opens much smaller than initial window

When the new windows are opening at a small size, changing
default-frame-alist has no effect. When the new windows are opening at the
same size as the initial window (with Emacs 29.3, as above), then changing
default-frame-alist works as expected.

I'm running on Ubuntu 24.04, under GNOME 46 with X11. I don't have any
Emacs X resources set.

I cannot reproduce this, but I'm not on X.  Here on MS-Windows,
disabling menu-bar-mode makes the frames one line smaller, and
thereafter "C-x 5 2" creates frames whose dimensions are exactly
identical to the existing frames.  As expected.

I see the above both in Emacs 29, on the current emacs-30 release
branch, and on master.

You didn't say which toolkit did you build with.  It might be
important.

Adding Martin and Po Lu in the hope that they will have comments
and/or suggestions.

Here with a GTK-3 build on XFCE disabling menu-bar-mode makes both
frames smaller by the menu bar height.  Does this happen on your system?

In all these cases after every single step please evaluate

(frame-geometry)

and post the results here.  The window manager is mutter, I suppose?

 > Sure thing:

This seems to be Bug#67654 and Bug#68463 and possibly Bug#65559.  When
you run Emacs from a console or under gdb can you observe whether it
triggers a

gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

which typically means that the menubar cannot be accommodated.

The one really notable difference to the above bugs is that the 29
version makes a shrunk frame only after you've removed the menubar while
master makes a shrunk frame immediately.  Are the GTK versions of the
Emacs 29 build and the master build the same?

mutter doesn't like us.  Just to make sure one thing: Would setting
'frame-resize-pixelwise' to t change anything?

Otherwise I would try to build Emacs with gtk2, lucid or motif.

Yes, both with Emacs 29 and git master produce this message when
menu-bar-mode is non-nil, and the menu bar is drawn, in both window sizes
(the normal sized window, and the strangely small one).

The one really notable difference to the above bugs is that the 29

Yes, they are identical: gtk 3.24.41, Ubuntu build.

Just to make sure one thing: Would setting

So, I did (setq frame-resize-pixelwise t), then disabled menu-bar-mode (in
Emacs 29), then C-x 5 2 (in both Emacs 29 & git master), and the new window
was small, just as before. It seems therefore to make no difference.

Otherwise I would try to build Emacs with gtk2, lucid or motif.


I tried building Emacs git master with gtk2, and it doesn't fix the
problem: the second window opened is slightly smaller than before (i.e.
very small indeed).

Building with lucid does fix the problem (both with menu-bar-mode enabled,
and disabled).

I can confirm that building with no toolkit (as recommended in the issues

But you can't see this message when building with gtk-2 I presume.

This strongly hints that there was an Emacs change affecting gtk-2 _and_
gtk-3 builds in between 29 and master.  I could imagine that commit

e087c89b1e243bbd941a4a50b4bf99613e13d016

is involved but if you could try to bisect, it would be of great help.

Which should eliminate the possibility that our size hints are
responsible.  IIRC mutter is very severe when size hints are not set up
correctly.

This would eliminate earlier conjectures that changes from one gtk-3
version to another would be responsible.  And it would exclude
emacsgtkfixed.c as possible culprit.

I suppose that all these problems happen when requests travel from GTK
to mutter and back.  Basically, mutter is not obliged to fulfill any
size or position request for any top-level (non-child frame).  BTW,
could you try adding a (user-size . t) member to 'default-frame-alist'?
And could you try doing that from an 'early-init.el' file?

That's correct, no message with gtk-2.

Just to check, you're suggesting that I bisect from emacs-29.3 (I use that
tag because it's what the version of 29 I'm using is built from) to master
HEAD, to find at which commit C-x 5 2 opens a small window immediately
(without disabling menu-bar-mode)?

This made no difference. I added just:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(user-size . t))

to ~/.config/emacs/early-init.el

Then I ran each Emacs with just "emacs", confirmed that default-frame-alist
was set, then disabled menu-bar-mode (Emacs 29 only), then C-x 5 2. In each
case a small window was opened as before.

If it is this bug that you are trying to isolate, we have already heard
reports of its being reproducible all the way to Emacs 26.1, and
concluded that it is a product of a change in the Mutter window manager.

Too bad I'm only personally interested in the no toolkit and Motif
builds and cannot set aside the time to investigate these GTK issues at
this time.

As a reference point: I donʼt see this issue here with mutter 43.8

Thanks.  Please try first setting 'frame-inhibit-implied-resize' to t
which should avoid that a frame gets resized when the menu bar is
enabled or disabled (this time I have slightly more hope that it fixes
your problem).

If this does not help, please proceed as follows: Try to undo that
commit (I cite it below) and please first run without the commit under
gdb with a breakpoint at the line

       adjust_frame_size (f, -1, -1, 2, 0, Qmenu_bar_lines);

in xg_update_frame_menubar.  Please note all values you see after doing

p req.height

whenever you hit that breakpoint (here the value is 27 all the time) -
that is when you create the initial frame and after C-x 5 2.  Then
restore current master and repeat the same steps.  When the values
differ, this should tell us something about what happens.

Setting the variable to t does indeed prevent the frame being resized when
menu-bar-mode is toggled, but has no effect on the size of the subsequent
windows created.

I checked out git master HEAD (currently df57e44a08f) and reverted commit
241616831024c9c9fe2b2378b611db0a560b9675 on top of that.

And the second frame opens at the expected size, the same size as the first.

But the second frame opens small.

Inexplicable to me.  Please conduct both runs once more.  But rather
than using the debugger simply evaluate

(setq frame-size-history '(100))

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

 > Buffer contents for master HEAD after C-x 5 2:

I can't figure out what's going on.  We get a

ConfigureNotify, PS=400x374, XS=1280x1354

event that tells us to set the frame to some "reasonable" size at least.
And the penultimate lines

 > change_frame_size (5), TS=352x374~>1232x1354, TC=22x10~>77x38,
 > NS=400x374~>1280x1354, IS=400x374~>1280x1354, MS=32x70 IH IV

tell, for example, that the text size of the frame should increase from
22x10 columns/lines to 77x38 (38 being obviously too large).  But
apparently nothing changes which is a complete mystery because

- if the WM does give us the indicated new size and we do not react, you
   should at least see an excessive frame border around or a much too
   long title bar above the contents of the new frame,

- if the WM only pretended to give us the indicated new size, you should
   see the new frame clipped at the right and bottom.

Since neither of these apparently happen, I'm clueless.  Could you do
the following: adjust_frame_size (in frame.c) contains the line

   if (new_inner_width != old_inner_width)

Please put a breakpoint there and look what happens when new_inner_width
is 1280.  That is, use

condition B new_inner_width == 1280

where B is the number of the breakpoint you've set.  I'm mostly
interested in whether the breakpoint gets hit at all.  If it does get
hit, we can try to dig further.

OK.  In the next step I'd like to isolate the menubar code as the sole
culprit for what's going in.  Please with master do

(setq default-frame-alist '((width . 200)))

or some other insanely large value so we can see whether we can make the
GTK error disappear this way.  And please apply the trivial patch

It takes effect on the initial frame, but doesn't affect the size of the
frame opened with C-x 5 2, or remove the gtk error message:

(emacs:2091071): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 15:57:43.714:
gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

(Just to confirm: I put this setting in early-init.el.)

I then applied the trivial patch you gave to git master HEAD, ran 'emacs
-Q' and did C-x 5 2, and got a small window as usual, but with no error
message in the terminal.

Let's try to continue from here.  Instead of the "trivial" patch please
now use

diff --git a/src/xfns.c b/src/xfns.c

Do you see any error message in the terminal?  Now set

OK, so I applied this patch and ran `emacs -Q`, then did C-x 5 2 and got
the usual small window and error:

(emacs:3159980): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 13:05:49.056:

That opens a small window with no error message.

Do you get an assertion failure already before the C-x 5 2?

 From what you've tested till now I can conclude the following.

Your Emacs requests a frame size of 1328x1260 pixels and for some
inexplicable reason your Emacs _always_ gets a ConfigureNotify
notification that tells it that the frame has been shrunk to 400x340
pixels.  Below, the values marked with XS are the requested values and
show up as:

xg_frame_set_char_size, invisible, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260, DS=1328x1260
...
ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=400x340, DS=1328x1260

The equivalent sequence on my system is

xg_frame_set_char_size, invisible, PS=752x792, XS=752x792, DS=752x792
...
ConfigureNotify, PS=752x792, XS=752x792, DS=752x792


Now two things may happen on your system.  In one scenario you get a
second ConfigureNotify event, this time with the expected size:

ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=400x322

Emacs complies and there are no further issues.  This is the scenario
with commit 24161683102 reverted.

Note: The second ConfigureNotify event in this scenario seems to be a
result of Emacs issuing two apparently identical requests as

xg_frame_set_char_size, invisible, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260, DS=1328x1260
...
xg_frame_set_char_size, invisible, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260, DS=1328x1260

with maybe different menu bar sizes.  We have yet to find out what
causes the second request.


In the other scenario Emacs complies with the sizes received in the
ConfigureNotify event, re-issues a new resize request with the small
sizes and the next ConfigureNotify event does not cause any change.

xg_frame_set_char_size, visible, PS=1328x1260, XS=400x340, DS=400x340
...
ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=400x340, DS=400x340

The small frame size stays.  This is the scenario with current master.
There is no previous second request from the side of Emacs.


One thing that we'd have to verify yet is whether the

gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed

can happen only when Emacs issues the

xg_frame_set_char_size, visible, PS=1328x1260, XS=400x340, DS=400x340

request (which I'd expect) or already when we get the ConfigureNotify
event (which I doubt).  In either case, I think that the assertion
failure is only a consequence of getting an unreasonable size and not
the cause of it.


Where could we go from here?

(1) Try to find out why we always get a

ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=400x340, DS=1328x1260

after requesting the larger size.  For this purpose we would have to
find out whether 400x340 is some built-in size used by the WM or GTK
or something Emacs itself has used before.

(2) Find out why Emacs in one scenario issues a second resize request
and doesn't do that with the reverted commit.  Maybe Po Lu can tell.  I
also suppose that the missing second resize request is also the reason
why the menubar-less frame always shrinks.  Maybe we should _always_
fake such a request - idempotent resize requests should never harm.

(3) Do not flush events.  Could

       gdk_flush ();
#ifndef HAVE_PGTK
       x_wait_for_event (f, ConfigureNotify);
#endif

flush a ConfigureNotify event to which we should have reacted?

(4) Look for other causes.  Could scaling be involved?  Do we calculate
size hints correctly - mutter is very selective about these.  Should we
delay setting the frame's visibility?

(5) Finally, the most important: Can other users observe the same or
similar behavior as Reuben?

Since this size crops up with emacs -Q, it doesn't seem to be related to
something Emacs has used before. I did also grep through my ~/.emacs.d
directory, but I couldn't find anything relevant there.

(4) Look for other causes.  Could scaling be involved?


My GNOME desktop is scaled by 200%, so it could be.

Several bugs were already reported of similar behaviour, no? Or maybe you
meant something more specific.

Thanks.  Did you ever get an assertion failure for the original frame?
If not, then we should try to understand why not.  Please with pristine
master replace the initial assignment of 'frame-size-history' in frame.c
from

   frame_size_history = Qnil;

to

   frame_size_history = Fcons (make_fixnum (100), Qnil);

start Emacs -Q and tell me the contents of the *frame-size-history*
buffer.  The idea is that if the initial frame gets it right, what can
we do to make subsequent C-x 5 2 calls get it right.

Sorry.  I meant something in the history of the frame creation
'frame-size-history' doesn't catch like the initial assignments in
make_frame combined with the values of FRAME_COLUMN_WIDTH and
FRAME_LINE_HEIGHT

   FRAME_COLS (f) = FRAME_TOTAL_COLS (f) = rw->total_cols = 80;
   FRAME_TEXT_WIDTH (f) = FRAME_PIXEL_WIDTH (f) = rw->pixel_width
     = 80 * FRAME_COLUMN_WIDTH (f);
   FRAME_LINES (f) = FRAME_TOTAL_LINES (f) = 25;
   FRAME_TEXT_HEIGHT (f) = FRAME_PIXEL_HEIGHT (f) = 25 * FRAME_LINE_HEIGHT (f);

or what gui_figure_window_size concocts with the size hints.

Can you try not using any scaling experimentally?  Jan always complained
that GTK does not handle scaling orderly (that is, in our sense).

I meant in the light of what I've written here.  IIUC nobody so far has
noticed the two idempotent xg_frame_set_char_size calls and how the
second one sometimes magically fixes things.  It would be interesting to
find out whether such "fixes" happen all the time without being noticed.

Also most people have identified natural allocation distribution as a
possible culprit and not as a potential victim.  And if the WM is the
culprit, why does the same WM handle Lucid frames or those without
toolkit correctly?  Maybe the WM is a racist, maybe we are.

Thanks, martin

I changed scaling to 100%, and it doesn't make any difference.

Silly me.  You have to evaluate

first.  Then it should be there.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 3274 bytes --]

The important fact is that in the entire sequence of the initial frame's
setup you never experience one of those strange ConfigureNotify events
asking to shrink the frame.  Why they happen only for subsequent frame
creations will probably remain a mystery.

A new mystery is that your creation of the initial frame has one
xg_frame_set_char_size call followed by two ConfigureNotify events where
the first event asks for 1328x1260 and the second one for 1328x1258
pixels.  The same happens again after setting up the tool bar only that
there the first event has 1328x1258 (which matches the previous) and the
second one asks for 1280x1354 pixels.  In the first event
xg_frame_resized concludes that nothing changed, in the second event it
notices a change.

When I do the same thing on my system I get

Frame size history of #<frame *scratch* - GNU Emacs at restno 0x1f668c0>

xg_frame_resized, unchanged, PS=752x792, XS=752x792

and the sizes requested by xg_frame_set_char_size and the ones received
by ConfigureNotify remain the same throughout - 752x792.

I have no hope that anyone will tell us what's going on here.  Hence
this new mystery will remain unsolved too, I presume.  But maybe I'm
missing an important detail here.

I forgot whether creating an initial frame without menubar works
reasonably on your system.  So please do the same once more but this
time with --eval "(setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0)))"
appended to your emacs call.  This will conclude our experiments with
the history of the initial frame.

Next let's try the following: Upon receiving a ConfigureNotify event we
don't call change_frame_size when _we_ conclude that nothing has
changed.  This conclusion might be wrong so let's _always_ process a
ConfigureNotify event via change_frame_size with the trivial patch I
attached as gtkutil-change.diff.

If this doesn't accomplish anything (as I'd expect), let's try to be
stubborn.  For this purpose apply the less trivial patch attached as
gtkutil-reject.diff, do

(setq frame-size-history '(100))

C-x 5 2

(frame--size-history)

and tell me what *frame-size-history* says in the new frame (if we're
unlucky and I did something wrong, this might get your Emacs run into an
infinite loop and you have to kill it by external means).

So, I'm doing this with git master HEAD still with the patch that changes
frame.c to initialize frame_size_history thus:

  frame_size_history = Fcons (make_fixnum (100), Qnil);

And here is the contents of *frame-size-history*:

(I observe that this seems to behave just like the "vanilla" version of the
test, only there's no menu bar in the initial frame.)

OK, so with just gtkutil-change.diff applied to git master HEAD, I get the
same behaviour as ever when starting 'emacs -Q' and then typing C-x 5 2.

This makes an obviously visible difference: C-x 5 2 opens a small frame
which immediately becomes large.

Here's the *frame-size-history* buffer:

Setting 'frame-size-history' to '(100), doing C-x 5 2 and evaluating
'frame--size-history' should be enough.  The frame.c change is needed
only for the initial frame because at that time no Lisp was evaluated.

The result is not yet what I hoped for.  We reject two ConfigureNotify
events but the ensuing xg_frame_set_char_size calls do not get us a
ConfigureNotify we'd accept.  IIUC the final height may be off by two
pixels.  What does (frame-text-height) return for the first and the
second frame?  Also I hope you didn't get the GTK assertion failure.
And how does removing the menubar behave?

Now something completely different.  A couple of years ago I noticed
that our size hints calculations are fundamentally wrong.  I tried to
fix them and I attach some parts of that fix together with the previous
changes I proposed.  Attached as size_hints.diff.  If the patch does not
apply, complain.  I edited it by hand to exclude other changes I made
and I might have made mistakes.  Again I'm interested in the history of
the second frame.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

I've removed the patch to frame.c, and I'm running with:

emacs -Q  --eval "(setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0)))"

When I do M-x menu-bar-mode the first time it has no effect, as Emacs
considers the menu bar to be currently enabled, so it disables it.

After that, toggling the menu bar works as expected, and the window gets
taller each time it is enabled, and shorter (by the same amount) each time
it is disabled.

Now something completely different.  A couple of years ago I noticed

OK, running with just this patch (which applies fine), and doing the
history test, the history of the second frame is:

The second window is the same size as the first.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

Relieving.

 > Indeed, I do not.

So the sequence definitely is: For some inexplicable reason we receive a
ConfigureNotify event that tells us that the frame has become very
small.  We accept the new size, adjust our frame accordingly and use the
new size as base for the next resize request.  When we issue that
request, GTK complains that it cannot fit the menubar and issues the
assertion failure.

 > When I do M-x menu-bar-mode the first time it has no effect, as Emacs
 > considers the menu bar to be currently enabled, so it disables it.

Since you run with

emacs -Q  --eval "(setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0)))"

Emacs considers menu bars to be currently enabled "globally" and
disabling them globally has no effect on that frame.  Do you agree with
this explanation?

The 400x376 are as before so other size hints won't fix anything (but we
inherently checked that when running with 'frame-resize-pixelwise'
before).

But this one ...

 > xg_frame_resized, rejected, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260, DS=664x696

... and this one are obviously fishy.  The sizes apparently match, so
why reject them?  The reason is that I recorded scaled sizes in what
appear after DS.  Since you have a scaling factor of 2 and (* 2 664)
gives 1328 this explains the width value.  The height value is likely as
(- (* 2 696) 132) giving 1260 where 132 is the height of your tool bar
(I extracted that from your previous call of 'frame-geometry').  If
there were a menu bar, we would have to subtract another 50 pixels.

So please try again with the attached patch which records the original
unscaled sizes.  And please tell me what

(frame-char-width)
(frame-char-height)

evaluate to.  I'm still trying to explain the 400x376 values.

I would be more cautious, since I do not know the code, and simply say that
disabling menu-bar-mode has no effect on the current frame, where there is
already no menu bar.

So please try again with the attached patch which records the original

Note that something quite different happens when I open the second frame:
it ends up full screen, but the Emacs window only occupies the same space
as the initial window (roughly half the screen wide, and a little shorter
than the screen).

Here we go again with the small size, reject it and ask for the previous
size ...

... but now all of a sudden we should handle a frame size about twice as
large which we reject again ...

... and never fill accordingly because we don't like it.  This was a bad
idea.  The second call of gtk_window_resize simply has to get the same
dimensions as the first one as in the first version of this patch.

Just that the "first version" of this patch had another problem: The
sizes we ask for in gtk_window_resize via outer_height and outer_width
include tool and menu bars.  The sizes reported by ConfigureNotify are
those of the native rectangle only.  I hopefully fixed that now.  Please
try again and tell me the histories you get here for the initial frame
and the second frame both with and without the menu bar by evaluating
(frame--size-history).

 > frame-char-width: 16
 > frame-char-height: 35

Times twice gets us the MS=32x70 above.

Next I'd like to know what you see with

(let ((frame (make-frame '((visibility . nil)))))
   (make-frame-visible frame))

and

(let ((frame (make-frame '((visibility . nil) (menu-bar-lines . 0)))))
   (make-frame-visible frame))

both with an unpatched Emacs and a patched one.  Here the second frame
appears exactly where the first one is, so we would have to care about
the placement ourselves.

I only want to know whether this "visibly" improves the behavior you
observe (no need to look at the history of these frames).  The idea is
that we could make creation of the second frame smoother so that you
don't see its initial size.

Unpatched Emacs: both expressions create a small second frame in the top
left-hand corner of the screen.

Patched Emacs: both expressions create a small second frame in the top
left-hand corner of the screen that immediately jumps to being the correct
size.

I'm afraid that some mishap has happened here.  The DS=664x630 values
indicate that you've run an older version of the patch where I confused
scaled and unscaled values.  I'm attaching the latest version renamed to
include today's date.  Please retry.

I would need a frame size history for one of these to understand why the
frame gets apparently mapped before the last resize.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 936 bytes --]

 > I've rebuilt with the dated patch.

Thanks.  In my previous patch I wrongly rejected a ConfigureNotify
because I didn't correctly calculate the expected size of the native
frame from the scaled size we requested earlier.  Please try again with
the attached patch the basic four behaviors of the first frame with and
without menu bar and the second frame with and without menu bar.  Don't
bother about visibility.

I meanwhile tried to run GNOME but I upgraded my Debian since the last
time I used it and now most of my previous customizations are gone,
display resembles that of a cell phone (or maybe Windows 10), many
programs I used earlier are not available any more and tracker hogs my
hard disk every time I log in.  I have no idea how to disable programs
that autostart and don't even know how to log off.  So I'm afraid that I
won't be able to test things there and will have to rely on your tests
even in the future.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1461 bytes --]

 > First frame with menu bar:

Whatever it is, I can't figure out what's going on.  It's basically the
same issue that's harassing me all the time.  In a frame with menu bar
we request an initial frame of size 644x696 here:

 > xg_frame_set_char_size, visible, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260, DS=1328x1260
 >   +values, PS=200x195, XS=664x696

The 696 come from (/ (+ 1260 50 82) 2) where the 1260 is the native
pixel height of the frame calculated as (* 36 35) where 36 is our number
of lines and 35 is your frame character height.  50 is the height of the
menu bar, 92 the height of the tool bar and 2 is the scaling factor.  I
cannot spot any rounding problem here.

 > ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=1328x1260
 > xg_frame_resized, rejected, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=664x696

Now we get a ConfigureNotify event that instead of giving us a native
pixel height of 1260 gives us a height of 1258 and we reject it.  Where
did those two pixels go to?  I suppose I'll never find out.

The next two things I'd ask you to do are:

- Apply the patch gtkutil-reject-2024-10-02.diff which adds a tolerance
   of two pixels in order to avoid rejecting the ConfigureNotify and post
   the four histories as before.

- Apply the patch gtkutil-reject-2024-10-02(25).diff (from a pristine
   Emacs).  This is like the previous patch but makes the initial frame
   only 25 lines high.  Again please post the histories for all four
   cases.

Thanks, martin

It's infuriating! But unless it's related to the eventual dramatic
difference in size, maybe it doesn't actually matter.

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6529 bytes --]

 > First frame with menu bar:
...
 > ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=1328x1260
 > xg_frame_resized, changed, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258

Now we get the 1328x1258 notification and do not reject it because it's
within the tolerance.

 > change_frame_size (5), TS=1280x1260~>1280x1258, TC=80x36~>80x35,

And here we end up with a frame of 35 lines, one less than we want
(rounding due to the 2 missing pixels).  But that's what you already got
with commit 24161683102 reverted.  Some users strongly object such
behavior so we probably will have to abolish the tolerance trick.  You
should "see" the two missing pixels on the last line of the frame's
normal window just above the minibuffer window, if there's text on that
last line.

With the earlier "strong" rejection the last change of text columns was

gui_figure_window_size (5), TS=1280x875~>1280x1260, TC=80x25~>80x36,

which is the expected value.

One obvious cause are these lines in adjust_frame_size

	  && (f->new_width >= 0 || f->new_height >= 0))
	/* For implied resizes with inhibit 2 (external menu and tool
	   bar) pick up any new sizes the display engine has not
	   processed yet.  Otherwise, we would request the old sizes
	   which will make this request appear as a request to set new
	   sizes and have the WM react accordingly which is not TRT.

	   We don't that for the external menu bar on Motif.
	   Otherwise, switching off the menu bar will shrink the frame
	   and switching it on will not enlarge it.  */
	{
	  if (f->new_width >= 0)
	    new_native_width = f->new_width;
	  if (f->new_height >= 0)
	    new_native_height = f->new_height;
	}

Here we use the (unrejected) 1258 value (which was stored by a delayed
change_frame_size_1) in f->new_height and use it as something god-given
in future calls.  But on GTK all this doesn't make sense.  Whatever the
size of the menu or tool bar is, it won't affect the height of the
native frame.

Same here.  I never asked you but IIUC this means that creating the
first frame without menubar proceeds just as "smoothly" as with commit
24161683102 reverted.  Right?  Does it proceed just as smoothly with the
earlier gtkutil-reject-2024-10-01.diff used instead?  Or can you observe
the correction by two pixels somehow?

Here we reject the event and ask again for 1260 pixels ...

... in response we are offered 1258 pixels and accept them ...

... and are left with 1258 pixels.  The frame has 35 lines, one less
than we wanted.

... and here.  I suppose you still see here the small frame first and
the resized one immediately afterwards.  Right?

Now about the 25 lines scenario which is quite interesting:

The 875 come from (* 25 35) where 25 is the initial frame height in
lines Emacs wants (for historical reasons I can't explain).  In the
other scenarios we changed that to 36 later, now we don't.

The 875 is what we ask for here ...

... and what we get are 874 pixels (one less so we stay within the
height tolerance and accept it) ...

... but here we get a second ConfigureNotify which allots us 850 pixels
only.  We don't reject it because the last time xg_frame_set_char_size
was called the frame was still invisible and there are no last values
available.  We reduce the number of lines from 25 to 24.

Eventually, the frame ends up with 24 lines, one less than we want.

If you still have enough patience, I'd ask you to try next with the
attached patch gtkutil-frame.diff.  It does not reject anything but also
does not pick up any sizes from delayed size changes.

The initial frame's size doesn't seem to change as it appears when I run:

./src/emacs -Q  --eval "(setq default-frame-alist '((menu-bar-lines . 0)))"
The only visual glitch I can see is that the menu bar appears for an
instant before disappearing.

I suppose you still see here the small frame first and

That's right!

Sure, no problem.

This is our first explicit call to set the frame size albeit for an
invisible frame.

So far I failed to notice that first ConfigureNotify following the
MapNotify.  It comes with the expected values XS=1328x1260.  Where on
earth does it come from ...

 > xg_frame_resized, unchanged, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1260
 > ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=1328x1260

... and where does this with XS=1328x1258 come from?  On my system, I
get just one ConfigureNotify for each xg_frame_set_char_size.

 > change_frame_size_1, delayed, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=1328x1260

Here we steadfastly reject the 1258 pixels conceded to us ...

... ask again with 696 (/ (+ 1260 50 82) 2) ...

 > change_frame_size_1, delayed, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1258, DS=1328x1258

... and finally succumb because ConfigureNotify offers us those lousy

The 630 here are the next strange thing (they existed in all previous
runs you reported but I didn't notice them either).  For some reason the
height of the tool bar is not added when we do not add the one of the
menu bar.  This must be a bug on our side.

 > ConfigureNotify, PS=1328x1260, XS=1328x1308, DS=1328x1260

This one is truly remarkable: 1308 is 1258 + 50 and 50 pixels are the
height of your menu bar.  Why would anyone add the menu bar height here
when we just asked to not add neither the height of the menu nor that of
the tool bar?

This is the usual minimization attempt ...

... which succeeds here.  There's no good first ConfigureNotify event
and no second ConfigureNotify as with the initial frame.  The remainder
can be ignored.

This time I'll have to look into our code first - something is fishy.

If there are any volunteers on GNOME who can apply a patch and check
whether they get the same either buggy or correct behavior, preferably
with a scaled screen, I'd be very, very grateful.

Looks correct. Unlike some previous situations, where there were oddities
(e.g. the frame was wider than the Emacs window, or the minibuf was cut off
at the bottom), the frame seems to fit the contents perfectly.

Good to see you're making progress! I can check on two different machines,
for what it's worth, although with the same version of GNOME and same scale
(but with different screen sizes).

Somewhere these 12 pixels must show up.  What does

(window-pixel-height)

in the *scratch* window evaluate to?

I can only suspect that this comes from a request to move the frame that
doesn't show up in the history.  Now the only location where this might
happen is in xterm.c around like 29259 here:

	if (original_left != x || original_top != y)
	  XMoveWindow (FRAME_X_DISPLAY (f), FRAME_OUTER_WINDOW (f),
		       original_left, original_top);

Please put a breakpoint on that line and tell me whether it gets hit.
The probability is less than 1% but who knows ...

(This is for first frame without menu bar.)

(window-pixel-height) ⇒ 1257

Nope, sorry, I put a breakpoint and it was not hit. Indeed, the whole block
starting at 29233 was not hit (I put a breakpoint at the call to
block_input on line 29245).

+ 35 pixels for the minibuffer gets us 1292 as expected.  Your main
window is 32 pixels too high, the lowest 3 pixels of the last line
(provided it contains text) should be cut off.

It was unlikely anyway.  Let us next check whether our event handler
drops events because they come with the same sizes.  With the attached
gtkutil-frame-2.diff and the first frame without minibuffer.

If you have any idea how to debug mutter on your system, we should be
able to get the cause right from there.  In window-x11.c the function
send_configure_notify calls

   meta_topic (META_DEBUG_GEOMETRY,
               "Sending synthetic configure notify to %s with x: %d y: %d w: %d h: %d",
               window->desc,
               event.xconfigure.x, event.xconfigure.y,
               event.xconfigure.width, event.xconfigure.height);

That height should tell us all.  IIUC you would have to set the
environment variable

MUTTER_DEBUG="geometry"

and then look into stderr (or redirect it) whether anything shows up.
IIUC mutter must have been built with a "verbose" option, so I doubt
that it will work for you out of the box but you could try nevertheless.

If you have any idea how to debug mutter on your system, we should be

It's possible to turn on debug topics in Mutter at run-time using the
built-in Looking Glass debugger (`lg` from "Run Command" prompt).

Having done this, I can see the output in journalctl.

Using xwininfo, I found that the first window is ID 0x5000148 and the
second window I opened is ID 0x500031c.

Then, the logs show, grepping for the first ID:

These traces include the "Sending synthetic configure" message you
mentioned, hopefully helpful!

(At least good to know that it's easy to turn on debugging in a production
build.)

Thanks, you saved my day.  I should have found out about 'lg' myself but
didn't see it wherever I went.

Just to make sure: The first window is the initial window Emacs made
with normal size and the second window the one you make via C-x 5 2 with
the menu bar still enabled and the abnormal size.  Correct?

This and all the following complaints are probably correct.  I'm aware
that our sizes hints are incorrect and with 'lg' we can hopefully fix
them now.  But IIUC mutter only complains but does not react in any
malevolent way.  What surprises me is that for the first frame there's
no "Sending synthetic configure notify" entry.  We'll have to find out
why.

What surprises me most is that here we start already with a size
constrained to 400x512.  Where would that come from?  Basically, it
means whatever causes the frame to shrink must have happened before
mutter writes out the first log entry.

This one is strange too.  Why on earth would we turn the title bar on
here ...

... and off here?

This one is the most interesting entry here: Somehow we must have got
through with our idea of a 1328x1258 frame (which should IMHO mean that
GTK could not possibly have intercepted it as with the earlier ones) but
mutter immediately constrains it back to 400x456.  I'd guess from this
that mutter _is_ responsible for the shrinking albeit in consensus with
GTK.

Likely another silly size hint we generate.

It's more.  For the first time I see a way to guess how mutter proceeds.
Can you please do the same you did above for a Lucid, Motif or a
--with-x-toolkit=no build - the one you find most convenient to build.
Maybe by comparing the logs we can understand better.

Thanks, martin

Correct, except that I was working with the menu bar disabled. Do let me
know if you'd like me to redo with the default menu bar setting, before I
reply to the rest of your questions, and apologies if this confused things.

Please do three things:

- Make the second frame with the default menu bar settings.

- Make the first frame where in an early-init.el file you disable the
   menu bar with a (menu-bar-lines . 0) entry in 'initial-frame-alist'.

- Make the second frame with menu bar mode disabled and any toolkit
   where the second frame has the normal size.

There are no questions IIRC, just some speculations.  Obviously, if you
have any idea about how to include debug information (geometry, size
requests) from GTK too, then we should be able to get the whole picture.

Thanks, martin

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/running.html suggests that setting
GTK_DEBUG=geometry ought to help, but it requires gtk to be built with
--enable-debug=yes. When I run emacs built with Ubuntu's supplied gtk, I
get:

GTK_DEBUG=geometry ./src/emacs

(emacs:922673): Gtk-WARNING **: 22:58:57.468: GTK_DEBUG set but ignored
because gtk isn't built with G_ENABLE_DEBUG

bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames

[martin rudalics via Bug reports for GNU Emacs, the Swiss army knife of text editors]

In your first log for

- Make the second frame with the default menu bar settings.

there is this entry

   9429: Nov 05 22:31:36 dwks gnome-shell[3900]: GEOMETRY: Constraining
0x5000318 in move from 0,0 1328x1308 to 0,0 400x456

Can you please try to find that (or if it got removed a new
corresponding entry) in journalctl and look there for the next entry
whose first line should be

Setting up constraint info:

and tell me what it says.  IIUC those entries have no associated window
information.  The whole format string in mutter's constraints.c here is

   meta_topic (META_DEBUG_GEOMETRY,
               "Setting up constraint info:\n"
               "  orig: %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  new : %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  action_type     : %s\n"
               "  is_user_action  : %s\n"
               "  resize_gravity  : %s\n"
               "  fixed_directions: %s\n"
               "  work_area_monitor: %d,%d %dx%d\n"
               "  entire_monitor   : %d,%d %dx%d",

It's number should obviously be 9430 but I have no idea how journalctl
works.

Thanks, martin

Again this only seems to confirm that the new size 400x456 is requested
somewhere _before_ mutter comes into play.

It might be easier to restrict journalctl output via the -S and -U
options, feed its output into Emacs and do the searching there.

Since, as you said earlier, you can't debug GTK (I have the same problem
here) and the only person who might have done that in the past has left
us long ago, I can only try a guess at where GTK (or maybe Emacs itself)
could mess up things.

One problem I see is that in emacsgtkfixed.c we set up the preferred
size of the frame widget and take the width and size from our
min_width/min_height size hints.  From the mutter log we know that these
are broken so maybe GTK does something weird with them.  Please put
breakpoints at the lines

   if (minimum) *minimum = w;

and

   if (minimum) *minimum = h;

within the #else parts of emacs_fixed_get_preferred_width and
emacs_fixed_get_preferred_height in emacsgtkfixed.c and tell me which
values are assigned here: Once for a good scenario and once for a bad
one.  Here I get 0 initially and later on 110 for h and 90 for w.

Experimentally, you could also try to use some arbitrary integer value
here so the code there becomes

#else
   int w = priv->f->output_data.x->size_hints.min_width;
   w = max (w, 800);
   if (minimum) *minimum = w;
   if (natural) *natural = w;
#endif

and

#else
   int h = priv->f->output_data.x->size_hints.min_height;
   h = max (h, 800);
   if (minimum) *minimum = h;
   if (natural) *natural = h;
#endif

and see whether your frame still shrinks.  Obviously, such a setting
will inhibit shrinking your frame later on but here we want to know
whether these functions are responsible for the weird behavior you see.

Better make this

#else
   int w = priv->f->output_data.x->size_hints.min_width;
   if (minimum) *minimum = w;
   w = max (w, 800);
   if (natural) *natural = w;
#endif

and

#else
   int h = priv->f->output_data.x->size_hints.min_height;
   if (minimum) *minimum = h;
   h = max (h, 800);
   if (natural) *natural = h;
#endif

A comment in gtkwindow.c says

/* (Note: Replace "size" with "width" or "height". Also, the request
  * mode is honoured.)
  * For selecting the default window size, the following conditions
  * should hold (in order of importance):
  * - the size is not below the minimum size
  *   Windows cannot be resized below their minimum size, so we must
  *   ensure we don’t do that either.
  * - the size is not above the natural size
  *   It seems weird to allocate more than this in an initial guess.
  * - the size does not exceed that of a maximized window
  *   We want to see the whole window after all.
  *   (Note that this may not be possible to achieve due to imperfect
  *    information from the windowing system.)
  */

so if we make the natural size small, it's only natural that gtk chooses
a default size that is smaller than that.

Isn't it true that disabling menu-bar-mode from the init file avoids
these problems?

Reuben, is running with menu-bar-mode disabled at all a goal of yours,
or you reported this issue simply because it looks like incorrect
behavior, and you don't really care about running without the menu
bar?

I don't think so: I had it customized off and had to bisect my
customizations in order to find what was causing the problem.

In Reuben's second scenario 'menu-bar-mode' is not disabled.  The second
frame is smaller with the menu bar enabled.
