Something isn't working

I have experienced this issue too. I use terminator always in full-screen-mode and just hide the window if necessary. When I open a new terminator window by accident, then my This will be fixed after closing both instances and opening only one again. Its a bit annoying, but my take away was: just do not open to terminators, with splits it is not even necessary. And yes, that's not a good take away. |

hmm, I'm just calling window.hide(), or window.iconify() here, so that leads me to believe that GTK is doing something wrong, but I could be wrong. Can you reproduce the problem with @toyi can you tell me what linux distro and version you're using? Thanks @Darkproduct for confirming this works for you because now I know it'll work on GNOME. |

I'm on Kali 2021.1 with XFCE. This is the (pretty long) log I got with Honnestly even if I'm was pretty sure I did encounter this bug without opening two Terminator, I'm starting to doubt a little bit: I didn't have any problem since I keep paying attention to NOT open two Terminator at once. I could have done that by mistake, I really don't know. Anyway, it's still "not a good take away" to quote @Darkproduct. I wish I could help more but I'm not familiar with Python (althrough I would love to dig in, but sadly a day only last 24h you know :/). edited by @mattrose to put the debug into a file |

Here are the logs from Gnome 3.36.8 with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. Open one terminator and hide itOpen a second terminator and pressing the `hide_window`-key (Insert) 4 times before closing itMeanwhile the log from the terminator 1Pressing `hide_window` once again, to get to the first terminator, click with the mouse 3 times on the window and hide it againAfter clicking with the mouse the terminator window is not focused and I can't type anything. I need to hide and unhide it again to get the focus fixed. Now I can use it normally until I use my mouse for anything again. Like copying something. For completness, here is the end. Pressing the `hide_window`-Key to get to the terminator and pressing `Strg + d` |

Hmm, this is what it looks like for me
and I get this when I click in that space: (terminator:597002): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 15:20:11.256: gtk_widget_get_window: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed |

Fixed Issue #425 (hide_window will try to show a destroyed window)
|
Confirmed @Vulcalien pr #456 fixes this |

I am also having this issue. I see that it has been "fixed" over a year ago, but it clearly is still happening, even after I added the PPA to get the newest version (terminator 2.1.1; Ubuntu 20.4; GNOME Shell 3.36.9). I observe that the commit where this was fixed, despite being a year ago, is still newer than the newest Release. Is there planned to be a new Release soon that includes this fix, or will I need to build the "bleeding edge" from master (and then have to manually check myself for updates for this individual package, rather than allowing a package manager to check for me and remind me when there are updates)? |

Hopefully this month. I've been wanting to do a release for a while, but I just haven't had the time. |

Describe the bug
When I use
hide_window, a black background remains. If the terminal was maximized at the time I usedhide_window, this black background also remains maximized, hidding the entiere desktop.To Reproduce
Sometimes it happens without reasons (known reasons at least).
I found a way to reproduce it all the time (on my system):
hide_windowworks well)hide_windowstill works well)The screenshots below will nicely help understand the problem.
Expected behavior
hide_windowshould not let this black background (and the worst of all, always on top).Screenshots
I just started one Terminator
The second one is also started
I closed one of them (it's not important if it's the first I opened of the second, it doesn't change the bug)
Now when I use
hide_windowI have this little black square remaining.As you can see, a tiny black square is no big deal. The big problem is when the terminal was maximized.
Here is what happens:
Terminator maximized
Hidden !
Normally I have a black background and no window title. This combo made me crazy as I didn't understand at the first glance that the background was Terminator, I though all my other windows where disappearing...
The steps above are one way I could reproduce the bug, but it does appear even without doing this. One minute it's ok and the other, a black background appears. As I do a lot of
hide_windowthrough the day, it is very annoying :(Desktop (please complete the following information):
Additional context
For some unknown reasons, the default shortcut for
hide_windowdidn't work so I changed it (all keys I tried produce the same bug).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
