Wrong size with Maximized Alacritty

[kontsaki]

Hello,

With Alacritty config

shell:
  program: zellij
window:
  startup_mode: Maximized

Zellij starts in the wrong size

if I resize Alacritty then Zellij picks up the right size again

zellij 0.34.4
alacritty 0.11.0
Linux 6.0.12-76060006-generic #202212290932167413972522.04~ca93ccf SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu J x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Same there.

Current I have to use startup_mode: Fullscreen instead

[kontsaki]

sometimes I'm getting a different behavior

[long2ice]

Hope this to be fix! Thanks!

[kontsaki]

solved on latest version, thank you <3

[kontsaki]

started happening again on zellij 0.35.2

Same issue here (zellij 0.35.2). I tried with Alacritty, Kitty and Wezterm on Linux and Alacritty, Wezterm and Windows Terminal on wsl Windows.
However, on Linux, I switched from X11 to Wayland this morning and the problem disappeared. I don't have the expertise to know what it means, but I share the information in case it could help solving the issue.

same here!

if I choose Fullscreen at least it works although not the desired behavior, which is maximized

Just for the record: I would really like to solve this bug, but for the life of me I cannot reproduce it. I believe all of you that this is happening, but must find a way to reproduce this in order to fix. I'm on X11 with i3.

I created a launcher that adds a 10ms delay and it went away:

#!bash

sleep 0.01
zellij

I can confirm the bug.

It seems to be some kind of race condition where zellij draws itself while the window manager is resizing the terminal window.

Found on

My linux plasma desktop, it's probably because of the tiling window manager polonium (~bismuth for wayland).

This linked issue ; it is also the case on i3wm.

Solution?

Could it be a good idea to check if the window size changed at the end of each redraw? (Or first draw?)

Considering which population is using zellij, it would probably be a good thing that tiling window managers don't interfere with zellij 😁
