Cannot resize tilda console to more than 90% of the screen

[Denis Rut'kov]

Binary package hint: xorg

After an xorg update to version 1:7.4~0ubuntu2 on Interpid I cannot get tilda to fill the whole screen. I can set the console size in the "Settings->Appearance" up to 90% of the screen. If I specify the console size in pixels I can set it up to 1270 (of 1280) and 790 (of 800) pixels.

This bug is still present in Interpid. It also appears on my second computer with 4:3 aspect ratio monitor. It seems it is resolution independent.

Hi dendron2000,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Hi, Bryce.

This archive contains all logs you requested.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

These are logs from my second computer, which has the same problem.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Somehow, it is fixed in the recent update. Great.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Encountered a regression in Jaunty. Same behavior as before. :-(

Please attach files separately, not in tarballs.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

OK, here it goes.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Still not fixed.

I don't know of any particular thing in xorg or xorg-server that could cause a client app to not fill the whole screen.

In particular, the 1:7.4~0ubuntu2 update did nothing that would affect the behavior of any client app.

I think this has to be either the window manager or tilda, not X.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Than how do you explain what I've experienced?

I first encountered this bug In Xubuntu 8.10. Then after one of xorg updates it was fixed. When I moved to Jaunty this bug was re-introduced, but tilda version stayed the same (see for yourself https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tilda).

So what's different between 8.10 and 9.04: xorg, kernel, this bug

What's the same: tilda

Video drivers does not affect this, as I have this bug with 'nv', 'nvidia' and 'nouveau' drivers.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention xfce is different between releases, too. However it's not the window manager, as this bug is present with both compiz and xfwm4.

[Denis Rut'kov (dendron2000)]

Bryce, you were right, xorg has nothing to do with this. I was so annoyed with this bug I downloaded tilda source code.

The problem is in tilda.glade file. Two GTK widgets for selecting windows size have the option "Page size" which is set to 10. If I set it to 0 I can finally select window size more than 90%. I don't know if the problem is with incorrect setting or it is a gtk/glade bug.
