Lazygit from neovim inside tmux is slightly different than vanilla lazygit

[shauryagoel]

Describe the bug
If I open lazygit from neovim which is inside tmux I get different pane sizes than when opening lazygit from terminal inside tmux without neovim or when opening lazygit from neovim without tmux or when opening lazygit from terminal without tmux.
Lazygit from neovim inside tmux-

Lazygit inside neovim and without tmux-

As you can see, the pane sizes on the left-hand side are different in both cases.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Open a new tmux session
2. Open neovim inside it (nvim --clean)
3. Open terminal inside neovim (:term)
4. Type lazygit and press enter

For the second screenshot skip step 1 and follow from step 2 onwards.

Expected behaviour
In both cases, the corresponding pane sizes should be the same.

Screenshots

Additional context

1. I have manually built the lazygit using the commit 58d7467.
2. I get the same result even after disabling any config for tmux and neovim.

If you want to try and debug this issue yourself, you can run lazygit --debug in one terminal panel and lazygit --logs in another to view the logs.

This is not a bug. Lazygit has a threshold for the height of the window; when it gets smaller than that threshold (which is around 28 lines, it seems) it starts to shrink all non-focused side panels to a height of 1 line, to make more room for the active panel.

It seems that the added line for the status bar (showing "testing" and "util" in the first screenshot) makes it cross that threshold.

[shauryagoel]

Yes you are right. I decreased the font size and now everything is working as expected. Is there a way to configure this threshold somewhere? I don't prefer shrinking of non-focused side panels.

[shauryagoel]

Hi @stk-ableton, is there some way to config? I am unable to find any such config option.

No, it's hard-coded.

Closing as part of a cleanup of old issues, seems this one is resolved (albeit in an unsatisfactory way)
