Conky cutting off at the bottom

I've just noticed conky is cutting off at the bottom after I added a few lines. My text buffer is big enough and I've tried the minimum_size variables from 1 -> 1000 for both x and y.

################################################################################

$font${top_mem name 4}${alignr}${top_mem pid 4} ${top_mem mem 4}
$font${top_mem name 5}${alignr}${top_mem pid 5} ${top_mem mem 5}

Changing "own_window yes" to "own_window override" fixes the problem however it makes all my windows disappear unless there is activity (like a blinking text select). I can only assume this is down to xcompmgr.

It's probably something obvious, and it always helps to get someone else to have a look. Thanks.

Re: Conky cutting off at the bottom

Hi, have you tried restarting conky? Sometimes this happens with me when editing the config and I have to restart it.

Re: Conky cutting off at the bottom

Hi, dont forget to adjust conky window's size to the displayed content in conky. If done, restart it.
