I upgraded from Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 to the RC of Ubuntu Precise 12.04. After the upgrade, borders appear which I cannot get rid of.
This shows rxvt-unicode's background set to red and Vim background set to blue.
On Oneiric 11.10 there was no red border, and Vim was the full width/height of the terminal window.
This appears to be an rxvt-unicode issue as gnome-terminal
wraps Vim without borders.
I've tinkered with URxvt.font
, setting both pixelsize
and just size
, but neither has any effect.
I've tried starting Vim with -u NONE -X
to confirm it's not a plug-in issue as well as running rxvt-unicode with its defaults. Neither had any result.
As far as I can tell, the version update between Oneiric (was 9.12) and Precise (is 9.14) (cannot link to Ubuntu packages due to reputation) is only minor. I've looked at the 9.14 Changelog, but there wasn't anything too suspicious apart from:
- fix alignment of inherited root pixmap when it is a different size than the root window and the terminal window is off the left or top edge (Mikachu).
Has anyone else encountered this in rxvt-unicode? Is there a workaround?
In Precise, the rxvt-unicode window only resizes in fixed steps, likely the
pixelsize
set in the config file forURxvt.font
. Whatever the window size, there is always a border around it. The 'red' and 'blue' colours were chosen for this screengrab only, they default to black otherwise, but it's still very noticeable. – StanAngeloff – 2012-04-23T08:20:51.553@StanAngeloff: Try to set urxvt border-width to 0, i.e
urxvt -b 0
. I guess this is a WM issue where its borders are not taken into account when calculating terminal size. – Daniel Andersson – 2012-04-23T08:27:14.903Thank you,
-b 0
resolved it. I placed it in my .Xresources asURxvt.internalBorder: 0
and it's not an issue any more. I wonder if I should report this, seems odd to be broken as a default behaviour on Ubuntu. – StanAngeloff – 2012-04-23T08:34:06.937@StanAngeloff: yes, report it against rxvt-unicode in Ubuntu. I guess the issue is really in the WM, but to tie it to rxvt-unicode will probably get the right people's eyes on it, at least. – Daniel Andersson – 2012-04-23T08:45:59.513
