Guake size is messed up

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I confirmed this on 11.10

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
Codename: oneiric

Setting to Low importance per Lalatendu Mohanty on IRC.

There are three behavior to be exact which I can reproduce

1. If Guake is in full screen -> press the restore from the top toolbar (between close, minimise, restore)-> Guake will go to a lesser size (X, Y both)-> if you toggle it twice (press F12 twice) -> it will go back to full screen

2. If you try to keep the X axis (horizontal length) less then maximum X value it will automatically go to the full X axis value

3. If the Y (height) is greater then 75% of max (approx) it will go for max X and Y value i.e full screen in next toggle

Btw I notice the same issue in Tilda (at least behaviour 3 for sure).

I have tried a couple of code changes but its nor working for me as of now. I am still working on it

I appear to be suffering from the same problem in Ubuntu 12.04 under Unity 2d. Quitting Guake and re-loading seems to restore the correct window size and behaviour but makes using F11 - Full Screen, difficult to use.

Bug still appears in 12.10 (guake 0.4.3-3). A workaround is to edit /usr/bin/guake and change line 821 to

  width = 97

(May vary depending on your screen width.)

i was having problem when by mistake i slided the slider completely down to screen and unable to see the slider.
i played with code and got this one,this code sets the maximum height for guake

search for this line 686

 max_height = self.window.get_screen().get_height()
        percent = y / (max_height / 100)

change value to

 max_height = self.window.get_screen().get_height()
        percent = y / (max_height / 90)

using mint 17 XFCE guake version 0.4.4

I've got crash to day and found something what may be related:

    def on_window_halign_value_changed(self, halign_button):
        """Changes the value of window_halignment in gconf
        """
        if halign_button.get_active():
            which_align = {
                'radiobutton_align_left': ALIGN_LEFT,
                'radiobutton_align_right': ALIGN_RIGHT,
                'radiobutton_align_center': ALIGN_CENTER
            }
            self.settings.general.set_int(
                'window-halignment', which_align[halign_button.get_name()]
            )
        self.prefDlg.get_widget("window_horizontal_displacement").set_sensitive(
            which_align[halign_button.get_name()] != ALIGN_CENTER
        )

The issue is with which_align which is assumed to be always present but won't be if first if will be false

Is anybody still working on this? Shouln't we have seperate bugs reported for each exact problem ? I've reported one fresh here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guake/+bug/1896340
