Linux - dragging tab to create new window split, the new split is blank

[MostHated]

Hey there,
I went to test out the new drag/split capability and ran into an issue. When I drag the tab to create a new split, the column or row of the new split ends up blank. I fired up a Windows VM to see if I experienced the same thing there, and I did not, it seemed to work as expected. Demonstrated in the clip below, I first have the windows version in a vm, then attempt to do the same thing on my desktop. The split divider keeps getting stuck on my mouse after the initial click, too, and is hard to get it unstuck, as if I was holding the left mouse button, when I am not. I had clicked, dragged a little, then let go and it remains attached.

This is on Pop_OS 21.04.

Thanks,
-MH

Thanks for the detailed report! Please capture DevTools console logs at the time of the issue: https://github.com/Eugeny/terminus/wiki/Debug-logs

Well, shoot. I opened devtools, then wanted to clear everything out to start fresh, so I closed Tabby while devtools was opened, then went to reopen it, and now the UI will not display at all.

This is definitely #4293 (comment) - any idea what triggered it? (closing with devtools opened is fine)

[MostHated]

Yeah, quite literally the only thing I did was open devtools, then close tabby, then attempt to reopen it. After reading that thread, I took my Terminus config and put it in the tabby config file and it opened back up now.

My bad, I had almost forgot. Here is the log.

If you need anything else that might help, let me know.

I posted in another thread about how when I updated to 1.0.152 my keyboard input didn't work anymore when using hterm and switching to xterm webgl fixed it. While playing around to see if anything else was acting up, I tried dragging a tab again, this time it seemed to work. 👍

Thanks for testing - hterm is an old frontend that lacks support for lots of things - apparently reattaching itself to a new tab is one of them. Unfortunately I can't afford to spend any more time on hterm - but let me know if you run into anything with xterm 👍

[MostHated]

It seems that hterm was selected by default? I don't recall having selected it. I know I played around with things on Terminus when trying to get rid of the ghosting, but I thought I had put it on xterm webgl, so not sure why it was on hterm. If that's the case, might be a good idea to just remove it?

Good point - done!
