Subject: 24.4.50; 'toggle-frame-fullscreen' can cut off minibuffer
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 17:20:29 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,

On occasion when making Emacs full-screen using the new
'toggle-frame-fullscreen' the mode line will be chopped off as well as
the scroll bars (see attached screenshot).

The bug seems to be non-deterministic as it only happens on occasion.

To reproduce from emacs -q:

'toggle-frame-fullscreen'

Simply rinse and repeat until the bug is seen.

Thanks,
Matt

I could not reproduce this on Fedora 20 with i3.  What system are you running?
Please try with -Q and see if it happes then as well.

I can't reproduce on my desktop. This may be an ARM-specific issue (the
bug only occurs on my Chromebook). I still see the issue with "emacs
-Q".

If you compile Emacs yourself, you can debug this by tracing the ConfigureNotify Emacs gets and/or the calls to change_frame_size and xg_frame_resized.  Obviously some call is either not made or made with the wrong parameters.  It may be a race condition so that Emacs gets ConfigureNotify out of sequence.

I have added trace prints in the functions that you suggested and things
do look different when the bug occurs.


The following trace is printed when the resize happens correctly (the
trace seems to be the same between bug-free resize operations).

ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
xg_frame_resized(0x6896f8, 1366, 768);
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 1350, 768, 0, 1, 0, 1);
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 1350, 768, 0, 0, 0, 1);
ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
xg_frame_resized(0x6896f8, 679, 729);
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 663, 729, 0, 1, 0, 1);
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 663, 729, 0, 0, 0, 1);
ConfigureNotify event received

This is the trace when the bug occurs (again, the trace is consistent
between buggy resize operations):

ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 1350, 768, 0, 1, 0, 1);

change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 663, 729, 0, 0, 0, 1);

ConfigureNotify event received.
xg_frame_resized(0x6896f8, 672, 720);

change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 656, 720, 0, 0, 0, 1);


xg_frame_resized doesn't seem to be called on the buggy trace when entering
full-screen. Any ideas where else I could look?

The question is where does change_frame_size get called from from if they are not from xg_frame_resized?

As a long shot, try removing this line:

do_pending_window_change (0);

in xg_frame_resized.

Hm, sorry I think there was a problem in my original trace, I've given
it another shot.

Here is a bug-free trace:

Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: 0x6781b0
Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: 0x6781b0
Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: (nil)
xg_frame_resized(0x6781b0, 1366, 768);
configure_frame_size(0x6781b0, 1350, 768, 330584, 1, 0, 1);
configure_frame_size(0x6781b0, 1350, 768, 330584, 0, 0, 1);
Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: 0x6781b0


And a buggy-trace:

Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: 0x6781b0
Received ConfigureNotify event for frame: (nil)
xg_frame_resized(0x6781b0, 1366, 768);
configure_frame_size(0x6781b0, 1350, 768, 330584, 1, 0, 1);
configure_frame_size(0x6781b0, 1350, 768, 330584, 0, 0, 1);

I'm afraid that didn't help.

Does (setq frame-resize-pixelwise t) change anything?

I'm afraid not. I'm still seeing the bug after evaluating this form.

Not much difference. I think it is a timing issue between when Emacs sets wm hints and when Emacs resizes its widgets.  These kind of problems are very hard to fix, as they often are timing bugs in the window manager.

Oh well, it was a shot in the dark.

Just for the record, even if you eval the form when startin Emacs?

Sorry, I somehow lost the initial part of this thread.  These two traces
don't document any affect on the minibuffer - the heights (768) are
always the same.  What does `configure_frame_size' stand for?  Are the
traces here in chronological order or reversed?  And how do you get a
ConfigureNotify event for a frame `nil'?

Actually, I hadn't done that, I just evaluated it in the scratch buffer.
However, when I paste this as the first form in my .emacs it seems to
fix the issue! I've been toggling for about 10 minutes now and haven't
seen an occurrence of the bug.

Oops, configure_frame_size should be `change_frame_size' defined in
dispnew.c

They are in chronological order.

> And how do you get a ConfigureNotify event for a frame `nil'?

I'm not sure, but it seems to be expected behaviour as there is an
explicit test for it in the ConfigureNotify event handler.  The frame is
set to `any' if x_top_window_to_frame returns null.

I would have done that in your place too ;-)

I'm afraid this issue is not only restricted to your window manager and
not only to getting a fullscreen display.  I've recently observed a
similar problem when trying to always come up with the same frame height
with plain emacs -Q on a Gtk build.  On the average it fails every
fourth time with three missing lines.  It does not fail when I set
`frame-resize-pixelwise' to a non-nil value.

> Oops, configure_frame_size should be `change_frame_size' defined in

I should have figured that out.  Where exactly is your trace point?
Personally I prefer one in change_frame_size_1 where it says

      /* This size-change overrides any pending one for this frame.  */

to avoid that a rescheduled change_frame_size appears in the trace but
it certainly doesn't matter here.

>> Are the traces here in chronological order or reversed?
>

Good (it's not obvious from the trace alone).  Still I miss things like

change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 1350, 768, 0, 1, 0, 1);
ConfigureNotify event received.
ConfigureNotify event received.
change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 1350, 768, 0, 0, 1, 1);

xg_frame_resized(0x6896f8, 679, 729);

change_frame_size(0x6896f8, 663, 729, 0, 0, 0, 1);

xg_frame_resized(0x6896f8, 672, 720);

xg_frame_resized(0x6781b0, 1366, 768);
configure_frame_size(0x6781b0, 1350, 768, 330584, 1, 0, 1);

from your earlier trace where some height change seems visible.

Arrgh...  I'm too silly.

In any case, the problem could be due to the following:

(1) Due to some non-textual settings (scroll bar, divider, border width)
    we ask the window manager for a frame height which is _not_ an
    integral multiple of the nominal character height.  At the same time
    we ask the window manager to store that nominal height as the
    canonical height by which frame height change increments should be
    allowed.

(2) The window manager (sometimes) decides that our resize request is
    impudent and overrules it by sending us a size that fits the nominal
    height settings.

Jan is our hints expert.  Maybe he has an idea.

Basically yes.  But with Gtk+ there is an additional complication.  Gtk tries to force the height increments itself if it finds that they aren't met, by resizing windows.  By setting resize pixelwise all hints are basically off so nothing of this happens.  An idea would be to turn hints off if we are going fullsize.

That sounds like a good idea, but I sometimes see the same problem when
coming out of full-screen mode (see attached).  We'd need to disable
hints for enabling and disabling full-screen, would that work?

Does that problem occur with `frame-resize-pixelwise' non-nil?  In any
case please post the output of `(window--dump-frame)' for that frame
here.  It should be in the buffer *window-dump-frame*.

Not really.  Fullscreen can be initated and terminated outside Emacs (title bar buttons, keyboard keys, etc) so Emacs would have no time turning hints off.  Forget this idea, it was not wel thought out.

I have added a remark about this to the doc-string of
`toggle-frame-fullscreen'.  Can we close this bug?

Closing this now.  If the issue reemerges we'll have to dig deeper.
