Quake mode doesn't scale width when changing monitor size

[benjamincburns]

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11.2421.0

Other Software

Windows 10 20H2 build 19042.1165

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Windows Terminal while using wider monitor on laptop dock and open quake window
2. Unplug laptop from dock
3. Show the quake window (may not be necessary)
4. Hide the quake window (may not be necessary)
5. Plug back into dock
6. Show the quake window

Expected Behavior

When I plug back into my external monitor I'd expect the width of the quake window to fit the width of the monitor, or at the very least, to be able to resize the quake window horizontally to make this be the case.

Actual Behavior

The quake window stays sized to the narrower monitor, even after switching back to a wider monitor (see screenshot below).

Not sure if this is related to #10515, but it looks (very) loosely similar, so mentioning it just in case.

Ah, would you mind updating to the latest version?

[benjamincburns]

@DHowett this is still a problem on 1.11.2421.0 - I'll update the version info in my description.

Thank you! 🙂

Did this just get fixed in #10744 ?

This does look like #10744, but that one was fixed in v1.11.2421.0. Presumably we don't get a WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING in this scenario, maybe we get some other message.

Might also pay to check when UI scaling changes for the current screen. Bit of an edge case I probably change mine more often than most.

I encounter this issue now too. My situation is as follows: When I connect my external screen, the internal screen becomes the secondary screen and has a lower resolution. Now I had the external screen connected and then disconnected again and now the window doesn't have the full width anymore.

This is still an issue btw.

I believe there's a 99% chance this will be fixed when we do the SPI_WORKAREA thing from #16067

[CherryDT]

Workaround: Run this AutoHotkey (v1) script whenever the size is messed up:

WinGet, windowID, ID, ahk_class CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS

if windowID
{
    WinGetPos, x, y, width, height, ahk_id %windowID%
    SysGet, monitor, Monitor, %x%, %y%
    SysGet, MonitorWorkArea, MonitorWorkArea, %monitor%
    screenWidth := MonitorWorkAreaRight - MonitorWorkAreaLeft
    screenHeight := MonitorWorkAreaBottom - MonitorWorkAreaTop

    tolerance := 10
    if (x >= MonitorWorkAreaLeft - tolerance and x <= MonitorWorkAreaLeft + tolerance and y >= MonitorWorkAreaTop - tolerance and y <= MonitorWorkAreaTop + tolerance)
    {
        offsetX := x - MonitorWorkAreaLeft
        offsetY := y - MonitorWorkAreaTop

        adjustedWidth := screenWidth - (2 * offsetX)
        adjustedHeight := (screenHeight / 2) - (2 * offsetY)

        WinMove, ahk_id %windowID%, , %x%, %y%, %adjustedWidth%, %adjustedHeight%
    }
}
