Unfortunately this isn't fixable. KWin asks the window how big it is, and the window tells KWin its size including its self-drawn shadow--because from that window's perspective, those area *are* a part of it, because it's responsible for drawing them. If you want to use SSDs (server-side decorations, AKA window-manager-provided titlebar and shadow), Evolution itself needs code to enable that by disabling its own CSD stuff. |
Created attachment 155221 [details] evolution_strange_border SUMMARY If I launch evolution (GTK email client which doesn't use the regular titlebar and window buttons as most other apps) and configure the window rules to forcefully make it use a titlebar, when it opens a subwindow to reply to an email, it will add a titlebar to it, but along the way will add extra empty transparent spacing throughout all 4 borders of the window (see attached screenshot), which looks very weird, instead of just drawing the titlebar above the usual subwindow without spacing in the way. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch evolution. 2. Right-click the titlebar and select 'More Actions' -> tick **off** 'No Border' (alternatively, could be set to draw a titlebar in the window rules as it's currently worded a bit differently there). 3. Configure evolution to access you email. 4. Select some random email inside evolution, right-click it, and select 'Reply to Sender'. 5. Look at the borders in the newly opened subwindow. OBSERVED RESULT Has empty space extending across the borders, and there's a gap between the GTK-drawn subwindow and the KDE-drawn titlebar. EXPECTED RESULT Should put a titlebar above the GTK-drawn subwindow, without extra spaces and without having a gap between the window and the titlebar.
