Gajim - 2025-05-02

After upgrading to 2.1.1 (from 2.0.4), the input box seems 2 pixels too low: I'm unable to see underscrores (in another room I have someone with a nick with two underscores: gendl__ but when the input box is 1 row high, I can't see the underscores. I'm noticing while writing this, that resized to two rows, I *can* see them, but when resized to three rows, I can't again. (At four, I can see them again.) that is, each time talking about the last row.

is there a setting I can change to make it work on the odd rows too?

erik, strange. can't reproduce that. There is a Plugin called Message Box Size

if it matters, my font size (I think in relation to the system font size?) is set to 1.000 ; what other factors might help you? (btw, the horizontal part of the bottom of a 'g' also doesn't show)

this is on Ubuntu Noble (24.04).

any custom theme inside gajim?

"newtheme0".

is that custom?

the only thing this theme sets, is the background for "mention" (to yellow)

so this theme has exactly 1 setting.

I guess this qualifiies as "custom" indeed.

but with that setting, it should not be relevant to this issue

can you show a screenshot

lovetox, sorry to respond late; I had to head off to an appointment. back now.

there's actually a strange thing here: when I hit <Shift-Enter>, the line height of the second row is different than when I type until the input box is completely full: the underscores don't show when I use <Shift-Enter>:

Might be due to the gtk4 bug workaround.

hm sure its not the spelling correction line that hides the letter?

what gtk version are you running, you can check it in the about dialog

> what gtk version are you running, you can check it in the about dialog This is the flatpak setup: GTK 4.18.4 ↺

Cannot reproduce it here with the same gtk, but non-flatpak, version:

Good day. Is there a documentation for the Gajim plugin system? I want to add support for Atom Over XMPP, so Gajim people would be avle to interact with Movim people. I want to know whether it is possible to occupy chat view and workplaces (the side bar at the left side). ✏

erik, which font do you use?

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Ubuntu 11'

is there any way to check in Gajim itself?

Schimon, sounds like a project far to big for a plugin. Plugins should enable small GUI enhancements not implement a social network client

This is with Ubuntu Font and 1.10x font scale set in the gtk inspector:

https://share.conversations.im/meeson_/UDjfjYtXgErxJuH6/Screenshot_20250502_140653.png

and rendering automatic. With manual it looks fine

Yep. with 1.100x it does look fine here too.

That resolves it for now, but I like my fonts smaller. If I can help isolate the problem, let me know what to do.

It's more of an gtk issue I'd say

mesonium, is your screenshot supposed to look ok or not?

lovetox: not ok for me

Ok would mean both lines look equal

why?

its only the correction indicator that looks a bit thinner

all characters are fully visible

hm atually one could argue that one pixel row is maybe missing on the second line

but thats still way better then the first screenshot from erik

Also the underscore is thinner

and this problem happens when? when you have 1.00, and the fix is to raise it to 1.10?

Ill ne back soon

I have no underscores when the factor is 1.00 and the thinner ones when the factor is 1.10

can you check if you have the same problem when you use a different entry

say the add contact dialog for example

I don't have the same problem in the chat serchbox.

nor in the "add contact" inputbox.

erik, aren't those input fields single line only?

Yes.

> and this problem happens when? when you have 1.00, and the fix is to raise it to 1.10? when I set font to Ubuntu 10 px, I don't see this issue. When I raise it to 11 px it looks like in the screenshot. Alternatively I can set Ubuntu 10 px and change the scaling to 1.10 to get 11 px. The latter looks like in the screenshot above, where the dotted line and the underscore become too thin. When I change the font rendering in the GTK inspector from automatic to manual (https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/enum.FontRendering.html) both lines look identical for me. ↺

how do you set pixel size for the font?

i dont have that option in the inspector

lovetox, in the KDE Plasma SystemSetting's font configuration page

same issue with Dino btw. though they use the same code more or less 🙂

I don't know exactly where the issue is rooted, but also I don't have the time to debug this further

lovetox, https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/commit/7ee56e87d89edee07ff14fbd890febad7670f20c (fix: MUC: Don’t query avatars if not allowed) makes no avatar appear for me in xmpp:angrytux@conference.trashserver.net?join

> Room does not allow IQ queries: angrytux@conference.trashserver.net

Is this now a room or a gajim bug?

Avatar in the room or on the users?

from the users only

It's neither, the muc does is configured so no one can query avatar data ✏

but I see the avatars in C and Dino?

Maybe because the same people are joined in another room with you

They cannot query the data from this room

I have to look if we abort before we check if the avatar is available locally

> It's neither, the muc does is configured so no one can query avatar data I'm confused. I've removed the cache in Conversations and rejoined the channel and obviously avatars are queried otherwise I shouldn't see them? ✏ ↺

I've also removed the avatar cache in Dino 0.5.0 and re-opened the app: avatars are there / fetched ✏

> I have to look if we abort before we check if the avatar is available locally looks like it ↺

is there a XEP supported by Gajim which would allow a user to send a messages to MUC that only a specified user would see? (not private messages)

But that is what a private message in a muc does, no?

these would not appear to be in the MUC

It would depend upon how the client handles it but there's probably no "present it to the user in this specific manner" extension protocol

That is just a choice of how gajim displays them. Other clients show them in line.

🙋

but gajim displays them in a separate window

A xep would not change that. That is just how the gajim devs decided to display these.

> these would not appear to be in the MUC It does display from which MUC it comes, if I try to DM you from this MUC, the chat would be named "voker57 (Gajim)" ↺
