command prompt kindof small

[teto]

any idea what could cause this ? https://transfer.sh/rEwDE/2019-04-26-140049_1399x948_scrot.png the prompt shows only half the height of the command ":qa"

Did you type :qa manually? I've noticed some problems with the height of the command prompt on initial draw but never figured out what the problem was (something to do with gtk).

[teto]

Yes I did. I noticed afterwards that it was not systematic and most of the times the size looked ok. so not a huge deal for now.

Is this a bug that should be fixed in GNvim, or is it a problem with GTK?

Also, @teto the link in your original comment is now broken (at least for me).

[vhakulinen]

Yes, this should be fixed in gnvim. It has something to do with getting the initial height for the cmdline. Similar problem exists with the cursor tooltip.

For me this problem only exists the very first time the command prompt is opened. But it is not consistent sometime it works fine the first time too.

Same here.

This may or may not be related, but I'm also noticing that changing the font size with guifont can cause rendering issues with the cmdline that can be reset by changing cmdheight around a bit. But different font-sizes can require adjusting cmdheight differently... at first I thought larger fonts just needed a larger cmdheight but it seems like it's a more complicated issue than that

@jaawerth What’s your pango version? Sounds like #85 to me.

[jaawerth]

Ahh thanks, that looks more relevant. Apparently I went with the wrong issue ;-). I'm on pango 1.44.7-1 from the arch repos.

[smolck]

No problem ;) I thought I was on track to resolving those issues in #124, but turns out I was wrong. We’ll need a proper fix, probably by supporting subpixel positioning, but that’s outside of my limited understanding of both gtk and pango. Neovim-gtk managed to fix things with daa84/neovim-gtk@482d9c7 but I’m not sure (1) how that would apply to GNvim and (2) if that’s not masking the real problem like #124

@jaawerth If you can offer some insight or help into a fix for #85, even if you only help with debugging, please do. GNvim is unusable for me (and I suspect other Arch/Fedora users too) because of #85 and I’d really like to find and implement a fix.

Gnvim was rewritten from ground up for gtk4. If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue.
