I am working on my KDE system with 6.0.3 since more than two weeks and was astonished that my 'vi' does not have 80 colums
a line - but 79 - at first I resized all 79-er windows to 80 by increasing width - but after reboot some changed to 79 again - some
keep 80.
I got a little lazy as this random pattern stayed that way - and correcting all konsole windows (well over 72 - see my screenshot
of konsole windows below with just title and scroll bar {no menu bar etc.} for konsole windows and with 8 virtual desks in a row -
which is my working pattern for years) and now found the 1rst ones with on 78 columns - so it is reduced every reboot randomly.
I was thinking of wrong rounding taken place - but this complete random pattern seems unlikely to be produced by rounding
problems alone ... it seems very strange ...
I depend on all konsole windows having 80 columns - I think I am currently using 22-25 lines, so this differs just for using the space
as is visible in my screenshot:

Unfortunately this is extremely annoying for me and if there are pieces if information / data useful to get the reason
for this regression I would be happy to help (I worked as Unix expert in IT industry) when getting some guiding info
how to gain them.
Side question which stops me from really testing the problem: With the 1st problem in Wayland (Bug 483615) I experimented with konsole parameters: konsole --qwindowgeometry 400x400+50+50 --workdir '/home2/jmb/mytex/presentation_jmb/' --hide-menubar --hide-tabbar --notransparency --qwindowtitle 'JMB_Term_1' & But even 'konsole --help-all' seem to not give complete parameters (e.g. how one can create konsole windows on all virtual desktops present; are there absolute coordinate or can the virtual desk be specified ???). https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/konsole/konsole/konsole.pdf seem just for KDE5 - so maybe one could give a hint where to get information about creating konsole windows with all parameters necessary (which was possible long ago ... I started before Linux 1.0 was released and this was normal way for worstation use in sciences - and KDE has much more features so this should be possible - and otherwise a save session and restore session could not work at all). As this could not be tested I am still not sure if this could be a window manager / compositor / windowsing library problem or really a console problem. But people developing konsole could tell. Im not sure if the 8 virtual screen (6x 4k in a row) could be part of the problem - but as I use this setting for several years with KDE5, it would be a regression of KDE6. Additionally I hope and expect that KDE is prepared for standardized resolutions 8k and 16k ... so 6x 4k should not be a problem. Maybe this problem is related with the bigger problems using Wayland (the above mentioned Bug 483615) - where even positions are completely ignored and can not be restored. Does it still happen if you set QT_SCALE_FACTOR_ROUNDING_POLICY=RoundPreferFloor environment variable (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479891)? |
