Terminator rolling it's window back to unusable size (Awesome WM)

Hello,

I forget it, I attach the image mentioned previously.

Thanks.

Hi Julian, I've never used AwesomeWM, but from I have a suspicion that the problem is AWM and Terminator's "Window geometry hints" arguing over what size the window should be (similar symptoms have occured elsewhere with maximisation too). Try turning them off, and restarting to see if this fixes it for you. I suspect you don't need them anyway with AWM.

Also, you should add details like which version of Terminator you are using.

The version that is used is 0.97

Refer to: http://bugs.debian.org/719475

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I see that you are not the original raiser, and that you couldn't reproduce this issue either. Could you pass the advise (disable "Window geometry hints") to the OP (Marcin Kulisz) in the Debian bug tracker?

Hello,

I did it some minutes ago.

Thanks.

Hello,

Here the reply for the original raiser:

1st I removed all geometry related config options, didn't help, then I removed
entirely my config, so only defaults had been used and it didn't help either.

So it looks like it's related to geometry settings but not exclusive to it.

Thanks.

I experienced the exact same thing and turning off "Window geometry hints" did the trick.

I turned off "Window Geometry Hints" under Terminator preferences and, like Alex Borg, my problems went away. Thank you! :)

I confirm that turning off "window geometry hints" helped me as well.
I am using Debian Jessie, Terminator 0.97 and Fluxbox.

@Julian: When I re-read the response from the original bug raiser, I think he is not doing what I asked. By default window geometry hints are on, and it sounds like he is trying to remove items directly from his config. He either needs to use the Preferences dialog to disable the Global -> "Window geometry hints" checkbox, or he must add "geometry_hinting = False" under the "[global_config]" of his config file (~/.config/terminator/config). If his config does not contain that line then geometry hinting is still active. As can be seen we now have three users who have solved the issue by turning off geometry hinting, so I think the advice is correct and the user did not perform the correct action.
