ToolbarHeight() / WindowHeight() seem not to work correctly anymore

[pamen]

Hi GTK gurus
I just re- compiled my app for (again) testing on Linux, which was resizing fine few months ago on all sorts of Linux OS.
Every window with a toolbar now returns around double the height of the toolbar, so any Gadgets placed directly under the bottom of the toolbar are
good 25 pixels (or more) lower, than they should be, thus the whole layout moves down.
The same code works on older Raspberry, Windows and Mac (is pixel exact in all cases)
This seems to happen since about a month after updates on Ubuntu 20, Elementary OS 7.1, Kubuntu 20 and 22 and several others.

I checked, that GTK uses standard Themes - Awaita or Adwaita Dark, so the theme should not be an issue (other GTK apps seem fine)

Any idea, what could cause the problem?
The code is standard - toolbar, few string gadgets below and Menu
Resizing vertically is done by simply adding height + small offset.
There is no issue with horizontal sizing.

I have to update my Ubuntu 20.04 first.
Not started for a long time.
Which PB version ?

PB 6.04 -did not change.

Here is the code of the screen UI only (sorry that it is a lot, but I prefer to have it more or less identical, not a mock up)

Code: Select all

Here works with my program 'Modul_ToolBarStandard.pb'

[pamen]

Ok, then I must be doing something wrong - my Ubuntu is the same version, dark mode (default one)

I'm confused - the same code above works fine in Windows and Mac (yes it is messy), do I miss some basic, like "Do not consider ToolbarHeight() on Linux" ?

[mk-soft]

Only for windows must be added toolbar height ...
Not at macOS or Linux.

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows
  y = ToolBarHeight(0)
CompilerElse
  y = 0
CompilerEndIf

On macOS is ToolBarHeight(x) alway zero

[pamen]

ok, documentation states only that
"On OS X this command returns 0, as the toolbar is not part of the window inner height so no calculation is needed. "
that implies that adding ToolbarHeight() would be fine on Linux and on MAc it would have no effect as it is 0.

Thank you, I will add another CompilerSelect (I counted 267 "Compilerselect" already in my code

Thank you mksoft - your help is always appreciated!

[mk-soft]

P.S.
PB uses OS API's to get the heights.
It's a bit silly that the API's of the different OS's work differently and you have to adapt them yourself.

Windows: Inner height including ToolBar and StatusBar. Y-position the ToolBar height must be considered.
Linux: Inner height including ToolBar and StatusBar. Y-position zero starts behind ToolBar .
MacOS: Inner height without ToolBar and with StatusBar. Y-position zero starts behind ToolBar.

[pamen]

Thank you.

What about the Menu : is it considered in Linux? Even if it is detached from the Window?

[mk-soft]

Menu height must be subtracted. Y Zero Starts under Menu
MenuHeight is zero under macOS

[pamen]

Lesson learned:
when using 3rd party designers or even PB designer - don't.
Think for yourself, ask for updated documentation
I got this on all 4 systems, it is pain indeed.
Thanks again for the explanations mk-soft.
