Full log
Message #16 received at 7004 <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
,----
| From your picture:
| The height of tool bar + menu bar is 73 pixels.
| Your font height is 17 pixels.
| (1024 - 73)/17 = 55.94117
`----
But, it can also happen when the tool-bar/menu-bar aren't displayed.
Shouldn't the display calculations take this into consideration?
,----
| The remnant (0.94117) is just wasted space, no whole line can be
made to fit in
| to it so it shows up at the botton as unused space. Any window
height that isn't
| an integral of the font height will show like this.
|
| There is no bug here,
`----
It certainly isn't a feature!
I find it can render fullscreen usage aesthetically untenable.
FWIW I've had to tweak X to get (somewhat) satisfactory fullscreen behaviour.
