Window height and splitter position return wrong
Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2025 2:48 pm
Hello guys.
I believe there is something wrong when I get the window height and splitter position on Linux. Here is an example
Although that for now I have the width and height hard-coded when the app starts, on Linux the values are quite different. The same happens with the hsplitter position. The following code prints the following on different OSes
Linux
Closing main window width: 400
Closing main window height: 137
Closing main splitter position: 168
macOS
Closing main window width: 400
Closing main window height: 100
Closing main splitter position: 185
I tried the same on Windows, and there the window height changes just a couple of pixels, but the hsplitter position doesn't change at all.
The interesting thing is that the window width, as well as the Top and Left do not have this issue, and they are always right.
Any idea why this is happening and how to bypass it?
