Subject: bug#72986: Disabling menu-bar-mode changes size of new frames
Date: Tue, 3 Sep 2024 17:52:09 +0200

>> Reproduction with Emacs 29.3 (also with git master HEAD, see below).
>>
>> Run: emacs -Q
>> C-x 5 2 ; window opens the same size as the initial window
>> M-x menu-bar-mode RET ; disable menu-bar-mode

Here with a GTK-3 build on XFCE disabling menu-bar-mode makes both
frames smaller by the menu bar height.  Does this happen on your system?

>> C-x 52 ; window opens much smaller than initial window
>>
>> With master HEAD (commit 92ea393a16e), the situation is slightly different:
>>
>> Run: emacs -Q
>> C-x 52 ; window opens much smaller than initial window

In all these cases after every single step please evaluate

(frame-geometry)

and post the results here.  The window manager is mutter, I suppose?

Thanks, martin
