Guake: Every time I toggle visibility - CLI goes down by multiple lines

[shivabhusal]

I have changed my shortcut from F12 to Shift + Esc. Whenever I press shortcut key Shift + Esc, the CLI moved by multiple lines as shown in the screenshot below. Even I changed shortcut to Ctrl + Shift + Enter, but no help.

$ guake --version
Guake Terminal 0.8.8

I also detected this issue when I switched from fullscreen to normal mode.

I noticed that this issue occurs when you toggle visibility in full-screen mode. In half-window mode, it works just fine.

You're not the only one having problems with toggling the fullscreen window: https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/382

Do you think your issue is a duplicate? I have been having similar problems, but they all seem to be slightly different for each user. I'm thinking it's all related to/caused by the fullscreen resizing bug, which can always be reproduced by opening and closing the fullscreen terminal a few times in a row.

Here's a gif example of what's happening for me:

Here I watch as re-open the terminal a few times, and watch as all the scrollback history moves up and I lose more of my last visible command output.

@robobenklein I think its not a duplicate issue.

Also, you are having similar issue but mine is little different. In my case, the terminal emulator's prompt goes down every time I toggle visibility.

I your case the history slides up.

And then sometimes this happens:

Doesn't happen when not in fullscreen mode, those characters are from the ZSH theme I'm using, likely because the terminal is resizing faster than the theme can be drawn to the screen.

Any updates regarding this issue? It's very annoying
