Screenshot of the resized window

SUMMARY

When I split the view in Konsole, the whole window gets resized incorrectly.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole and make it occupy the right end side of the screen by hitting the "windows key"+"right arrow" combination.
2. Split the view top/bottom or right/left, behaviour is the same

OBSERVED RESULT

The window will not be full height anymore, but there will be a margin between  the bottom of the window and the bottom of the screen

EXPECTED RESULT

Window to keep same size as before splitting the view

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: -
macOS: -
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch linux latest version
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

- This does NOT happen if the window is fully maximized.
- This is happening on a dual display setup, only on the secondary display. I have one display with 2 panels, one at the top of the screen, one at the bottom of the screen. This bug only happens on the secondary display where there are no panels.
- Using x.org

I just noticed the same exact behaviour happens with Dolphin as well so I assume it's a general bug affecting window management rather than a Konsole specific one.
Comment 2 whites11 2021-09-07 09:24:35 UTC
Moved to kwin because it's clearly a general problem rather than a konsole specific one.
Comment 3 whites11 2021-10-19 15:38:55 UTC
Still happening in 5.23.0
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-11-27 17:11:17 UTC
Not a KWin issue; these "split the view" features are app-specific and are not hooking into any KWin functionality. Moving back to Konsole. So Dolphin will need a separate bug report for it.

I cannot reproduce the issue with current git master on Wayland. It's possible this was fixed by https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/2ab70959ccc90cb5b69e025130d0093f54236624, which will be in Konsole 21.12. That's getting released in a little under two weeks, on December 9th. Can you check once it's released to see if the bug is fixed? Thanks!

Will do for sure, thanks a lot Nathan!
Comment 6 whites11 2021-12-11 16:27:05 UTC
Unfortunately this is still happening with konsole 21.12.0
Comment 7 whites11 2021-12-18 10:27:59 UTC
For what it's worth, this is an X11 problem only. Not happening in wayland

I don’t have a dual monitor setup, I won’t be able to fix it. Would you try
to discover what’s happening code wise? Even a few debug lines on the
affected code helps.

Code is probably on ViewSplitter.cpp

I don't have the toolchain set up. I will try to follow documentation to build konsole. Let's see how far I can get with the time I can afford to invest.

Comment 14 whites11 2022-01-04 09:01:27 UTC
I had a look at the code in ViewSplitter.cpp and I can't find anything related to the window size.
Also, the same bug happens when I click on the "New Tab" button or if I hide the menu bar.
This makes me fell this is something lower lever like a QT bug maybe.
Any ideas where to look at?
