GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 785175
GTK Maximised windows have a 1px gap at the bottom
Last modified: 2018-03-26 10:55:43 UTC
Description: GTK applications windows on Gnome (3.24.2, wayland, HiDPI) have a 1px "gap" at the bottom when maximised. See https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/1017 for example. Additional info: * package version(s) gtk3 3.22.16-1, mutter 3.24.3-1, gnome-shell 3.24.2-1 Tested with default theme (Adwaita) and Arc. Steps to reproduce: Open a GTK3 application such as Tilix or gedit, maximise the window and observer the 1px gap at the bottom of the screen. This does not happen on X11.
With a 2nd monitor that's not HiDPI, the problem doesn't occur on the normal-DPI display. Can anybody else reproduce this issue?
I can reproduce this on a Chromebook Pixel 1st gen. Can't make a screenshot right now though since I don't know how to make one on wayland without a PrintScreen key ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There is a screenshot on the aforementioned tilix bug report.
Created attachment 370113 [details] screenshot Adding a screenshot here as the bug is still present on gnome 3.28.
So, the gtk+ wayland backend is just doing a zxdg_toplevel_v6_set_maximized when maximizing a window. This problem happens both with CSD and SSD applications. I notice however that weston --scale=2 does not observe the problem so an issue in mutter seems more likely. And there's even a bug report about this for mutter already: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782671. Since this seems more likely to be a problem on the compositor side, I'll mark this one as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 782671 ***
