No tab bar in child window

svenihoney opened this issue · 6 comments

Describe the bug
I have mapped the new window command to CTRL+SHIFT+n like this:

map kitty_mod+n new_os_window_with_cwd

If I open a new window with this key combo, a new window is opened correctly. But if I open a new tab, the tab bar display is incorrect.

  • Sometimes no tab bar is displayed
  • Sometime the entered command line is display, but seldom

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open kitty with kitty -1
  2. Open new window with CTRL+SHIFT+n
  3. Open a new tab with CTRL+SHIFT+t
  4. Execute

Screenshots

Additional context
Same problem with kitty --config NONE and CTRL+SHIFT+N, CTRL+SHIFT+T.

Does not reproduce for me with

kitty --config=NONE -o 'map kitty_mod+n new_os_window_with_cwd' -1
  1. Press ctrl_shift_n
  2. In the new window press ctrl_shift+t
  3. observe a second tab opening with the tab bar, as expected.

Okay, interesting. I can reproduce the behavior on my system, and instead of trying to find out what the root cause of the problem is (maybe my environment, font, wayland, used shell or whatever) you simply close the issue because it is working in YOUR environment? Never seen something like this.

Surely I would have been willing to help to find the error.

I think I will look for a different terminal if this is your idea of community support.

Because this is very clearly an issue specific to your environment, If I
had to guess it would be something related to using nix, which tends to
break software in weird and wonderful ways. I am not your personal
support staff. As stated in https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-bugs
bug reports that I dont feel are actual bugs in kitty are closed. Closed
status doesn't mean I will not respond further. You are welcome to
provide further information that might help track down the cause or ask
for guidance in debugging it, but with the information you have so far
provided I dont see how this can possibly be a bug in kitty.

If you want to debug further, I suggest you start with running with
--debug-input which will tell you if the key press triggered the
shortcut or not. Also try using the official kitty binaries instead of
the nix package.
