Screenshot attached. I have the same problem using gitk on Windows with Cygwin. Till now I avoid the problem (because I know too little about TCL/TK) with commenting out the line "catch {source ~/.gitk}". Then then window can be sized to correct layout. Stefan -- Stefan-W.

It's a bit of a hack but I think it should be merged in, conditional on OS naturally. cheers, m ``` ## Rutger Nijlunsing, 2006-06-10 11:13 Subject: Re: gitk on Windows: layout problem Message-ID: <20060610111321.GA6790@nospam.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060610111321.GA6790%40nospam.com In-Reply-To: <17537.22986.653849.367731@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com> ``` On Sat, Jun 03, 2006 at 07:43:38PM +1000, Paul Mackerras wrote: > Rutger Nijlunsing writes: > > > Is this a known problem? gitk-du-jour on Windows starts up with an > > unusable layout.

So while it's not the native Windows Tk port, it also doesn't seem to be the X-server version. -- Rutger Nijlunsing ---------------------------------- eludias ed dse.nl never attribute to a conspiracy which can be explained by incompetence ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ``` ## Christopher Faylor, 2006-06-10 20:34 Subject: Re: gitk on Windows: layout problem Message-ID: <20060610203419.GB324@trixie.casa.cgf.cx> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060610203419.GB324%40trixie.casa.cgf.cx In-Reply-To: <20060610111321.GA6790@nospam.com> ``` On Sat, Jun 10, 2006 at 01:13:21PM +0200, Rutger Nijlunsing wrote: >On Sat, Jun 03, 2006 at 07:43:38PM +1000, Paul Mackerras wrote: >> Rutger Nijlunsing writes: >>>Is this a known problem? gitk-du-jour on Windows starts up with an >>>unusable layout.

Its main purpose is to support the insight debugger and it does not require an X-server to run. ```
