Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

I use a macro keypad to manage my windows on XFCE. For example, I might make the window take up the left hand side of my monitor by sending:

wmctrl -e 0,0,0,1600,1440 -i -r $WINDOW_ID

Actual results:

Thunderbird repositions correctly, but the size is too small. There's about 20 pixels of empty space on the left, top, and right sides and about 40 pixels of empty space on the bottom. My OS is OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and this was working in the previous version of Thunderbird and is no longer working in 115.2.0.

Expected results:

The window should be resized to 1600x1440.

JF, please can you try to do the same with Firefox? Does it behave the same? If not do TB and Firefox have the window titlebar enabled?

Firefox doesn't have the same issue. FF is showing the window titlebar, TB is not. In TB, if I go to Settings and disable "Hide system window titlebar", then the problem goes away.

Could you try Firefox with titlebar disabled? When Firefox behaves the same we know it's a toolkit issue.

Yes, when the titlebar is disabled in Firefox, it exhibits the same bad behavior.
