Description of problem: Immediately after installation of terminator-2.1.3-1.fc37.noarch opening a terminator Window create a tiny 2x1(char) window size instead of the default. When expanded the new terminat contains several "stuttered" prompts as in "[stevea@russula Desk[stevea@russula Desk[stevea@russula Desk[stevea@russula[stevea@[stevea@r[steve[[[[[[stevea@russula Desktop]$ " Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): terminator-2.1.3-1.fc37.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. sudo dnf -y install terminator-2.1.3-1.fc37.noarch 2. logout/login 3. from ay X11 term, type 'terminator' Actual results: I tiny terminator window appears, with 'stuttered' prompt' Expected results: A normal size window should appear Additional info: If started from an alternative terminal (xterm) the following messages appear: [stevea@russula Desktop]$ terminator /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/terminatorlib/plugins/command_notify.py:26: Warning: invalid (NULL) pointer instance Vte.Terminal().connect('notification-received',lambda *args: None,None) /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/terminatorlib/plugins/command_notify.py:26: Warning: g_signal_handlers_disconnect_matched: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed Vte.Terminal().connect('notification-received',lambda *args: None,None) --
The problem was traced to an existing ~/.config/terminator/config configuration file. The [layouts] section specifically. The old config file had a [layouts] like .... [layouts] [[default]] [[[child0]]] type = Window parent = "" order = 0 position = 767:164 maximised = False fullscreen = False size = 2910, 1495 last_active_window = True [[[terminal1]]] type = Terminal parent = child0 order = 0 profile = default command = "" Where the line "size = 2910, 1495" is the offending line that causes the "bad" window size. --- A newly created config file contains the [layouts] .... [layouts] [[default]] [[[window0]]] type = Window parent = "" position = 767:164 [[[child1]]] type = Terminal parent = window0 profile = default size = 2910, 1495 [plugins] and works as expected. === I'll suggest a description "terminator 2.1.3" does not accept config's from older versions". I believe priority should be dropped to "low"
There is a real bug in the current terminator-2.1.3-1.fc37.noarch To reproduce 1) delete the ~/.config/terminator/config file if present. 2) start terminator 3) Resize the window until the titlebar show "128x31" (other values likely cause the error. 3) Right-click and open "Preferences", in preferences: a) under "Global" select "Window Geometry hints" b) under Profiles tab, for the default profile, DEselect "Use the system fixed width font" and choose "Source Code Pro Regular" 12 of "Liberation Mono" 12 for examples. c) under Layouts, select "default, and then "save" d) "Close" the Terminator Preferences" window. 4) Close the terminator window. Any attempt to open "terminator" with the resulting ~/.config/terminator/config file creates a defective tiny window. 100% reproduce-able.
Disabling "Window geometry gints" preferences option is a workaround. Please close.
