Patch/Tree window is minimised
SilkAndSlug opened this issue · 5 comments
The bottom-right window has minimal width, and thus the list of files can't be seen. The window can be resized. The bottom-right window should show, as per the image on the website.
There appears to be zero documentation for gitk.
As far as I can see, gitk is writing to ~/.config/git/gitk as it closes, and changing the values of the below params from dracula's defaults. IMHO, gitk is then ignoring the geometry config on load.

I note that, if I delete ~/.config/git/gitk,
- gitk starts with the bottom pane divided;
- the gitk file is regenerated when gitk closes; and
- setting the botwidth in the file (while gitk is closed) sets the size of the bottom pane(s) when gitk restarts.
Looks like Dracula's config breaks gitk.
Confirmed: I didn't have any issue before with gitk 2.16.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 but now I have this issue with gitk 2.17.1 on Ubuntu 18.04.
If you use
set want_ttk 1
instead of 0 then the problem is gone but suddenly not all the GUI looks dark anymore, and you get some of the problems described here, so still no quick solution.
Having this issue (on Windows 10) also!
@AurelienLourot's solution so enable want_ttk shows the patch tree again.
The issues preventing us from using set want_ttk 0 have been fixed in
The first version containing this fix is v2.37.0. On Ubuntu for example it's
available starting from Ubuntu 22.10 (Kinetic):
https://packages.ubuntu.com/kinetic/gitk
I have just tried it out and everything works well now for me.
