Tilix: Disable quake mode in Wayland

[gnunn1]

I'm thinking of disabling quake mode in Wayland as there are just too many problems with it. The basic problem is that in Wayland there is no way to control the window placement, right now quake mode relies on a hack to put the window in the right spot. This is brittle though and breaks in all sorts of different situations.

:'( I'm not using wayland yet, but this is one of my favorite features at the moment.

I am using Wayland and yeah there is some flaws. @gnunn1 Can't you ask upstream about your problem. I would be very sad to say goodbye to tilling in Wayland. :(

I've asked about it several times, it's just the way Wayland works.

@gnunn1 My flaw (quake window was placed a bit on the second screen) disappeared after updating to gnome 3.26 and to your latest version. Could you consider it to keep quake mode in Wayland because it is one if not the main reason I'm using and loving Tilix.

Thanks in advance.

I am running gnome-shell 3.26.2-11 on Arch Linux 4.14.1-1-ck and tilix 1.7.1 seems to run fine in quake mode now.

UPDATE: It was a Wayland session.

I am using tilix quake mode on two machines, both Arch Linux with latest gnome-shell running on Wayland. On one machine there is no issues at all, but on the other I have enabled screen scaling due to HiDPI Laptop screen. On this machine, Tilix has only half the width/height as it should and is placed not poperly.
Please do not disable quake mode, since I really appreciate your work!

@wollistik I can confirm your observation, placement and size of tilix in quake mode is off when output in a Wayland session is scaled.

I'll close this and leave things be for now.

A workaround for me is to activate fullscreen mode in tilix's quake mode (F11).
