guake starts with abnormal indentation

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

May be replace
<property name="gravity">static</property>
by
<property name="gravity">north</property>
in file guake.glade?
It though, would be partially fixes the problem

Replacing the property gravity from static to north as described on #3 fixed the issue to me. Thanks Progger.

Works for me too, thx!

#3 worked for me too

#3 worked for me too, thanks!

Tested #3 fix proposition and it wrks great, thanks :)

#3 does not fix the issue, if you run at full window height then it just moves the gap from the top of the screen to the bottom.

#3 worker for me, thx

Changing <property name="gravity">static</property> to <property name="gravity">north</property> worked for me aswell. So thanks a bunch Progger!

For anyone who is unsure where guake.glade is located, it's here: /usr/share/quake/guake.glade

#11 has a minor typo for the path: /usr/share/guake/guake.glade

Thanks for the fix!

The fix described in #3 doesn't really solve the problem. It seams to work in the first place, but then suddenly seams to ignore the space necessary for the window bar and places guake on top of the screen thus hiding the prompt.

To add on my previous comment:
If that happens what I described in #13 you can fix it by just switching to fullscreen using F11 and switch back again.
After that, the space for the window bar is back again and the terminal prompt is on the place where it should be again.

Taken fix from upstream and applied to Raring. Single line patch altering UI property

Taken fix from upstream and applied to Saucy. Single line patch altering UI property.

Have tested my changes in clean installs of Raring and Saucy in VMs. In both cases the apt version of Guake rendered in the wrong position on screen (as described in the bug), and the version in my PPA rendered in the correct place.

I assume that this got marked a security vulnerability by accident?

Thanks, uploaded.

As this seems to affect just about every user of guake on Raring, I think an SRU is justified.

Since the fix is cherry-picked from upstream, we know that Debian will get the fix eventually. But you could still file a bug in Debian if you feel it is appropriate.

Since this introduces a new delta in Ubuntu for this package, and we know that Debian will fix the problem eventually, please keep an eye on any updates from Debian and request a package sync (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SyncRequestProcess) so that we don't fall behind future updates. You can speed this up by filing a bug in Debian ;)
