resize-window won't make windows shorter than some threshold #7220
Description
Describe the bug
Depending on the size of the OS Window, there is a threshold past which Kitty will refuse to resize windows.
For me, at full-screen, that threshold is around 9 rows on a short monitor, but 17 rows on a tall monitor.
If the OS window is made smaller, the minimum number of rows can be reduced to as few as 2 (but seemingly not to 1).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open a Kitty terminal.
- Select the "splits" layout.
- Create a vertical split below the current window. (default
ctrl+shift+enter) - Resize the window to make it taller; at a certain point, it will
bellor error. (for example,ctrl+shift+rto open the resize kitten, and then presstuntil the terminal bells) - You can make the window smaller still by resizing the OS window to make it shorter instead.
Screenshots
I don't think a screenshot is particularly useful here.

I'm not sure if this is related, but on kitty 0.35.2 I can't make any window shorter than 6 columns. Is there a way to get around this limitation? I'm specifically trying to have a window that's just about two lines high.

Use the splits layout it doesnt have a limit, IIRC.
