[SOLVED] Terminator starts and collapses to title bar

Roken · 2015-03-02 20:27:09

This is driving me nuts now. I have a shortcut on cairo-dock to terminator which has worked fine for ages, but now, when I open it, it shades to the title bar. xfce4-terminal doesn;t exhibit the same behaviour, and I haven't changed anything.

Any clues as to what's happening. I can resize back to my preferred window and it works fine after that, but it's damned annoying.

Oh, and if I launch xfce4-terminal and launch terminator from there, same thing, so it's not a dock problem.

Does terminator have an option to shade on open?

Not that I can find, and I've had a real good hunt through the prefs

rename or delete

$HOME/.config/terminator/config

and see what you get - if the problem disappears then you know you have suspect config file... if not you should look elsewhere obapps? or window manager controls

Ahh, got me on the right track. It seems that having size defined in the config file is causing this. However, starting terminator with the --geometry parameter still works.

Thanks for getting me on the right track.
