Under Linux, the window will keep growing due to lack of initial size, and then crash.

env:archlinux + lightdm + xfce4
python version:3.11

When running PyGPSClient, the window keeps expanding, overflowing the screen, and then crashes.
TK needs to be given a fixed initial size after line 151 in main.py.

Hi @uilzzw

Sorry you're having difficulties.

I'm not seeing this behaviour on any of the Debian or Fedora Linux platforms I normally use for testing - this may be specific to your GUI management environment - though it should be simple to resolve.

Occasionally the main window may extend beyond the current screen dimensions if you add additional widgets to an existing row, but it's generally just a matter of resizing or maximising the window to fit.

Can you provide a little more information, as per the requested Issue Template?

1. Can you confirm that by 'latest release' you mean v1.6.0?
2. Can you confirm your full tkinter version?

   from tkinter import Tcl
   print(Tcl().call("info", "patchlevel"))

3. When you say the window 'keeps expanding', do you mean of its own accord, without any user intervention?
4. Can you provide the FULL TRACEBACK for the 'crash', if possible?
5. Have you tried reverting to the previous version (1.5.23) and, if so, do you still see the issue?
6. Have you actually tried making the change you describe to main.py and, if so, does that definitely resolve the problem?
7. What native screen resolution are you using?

FYI I have a provisional branch for the next release v1.6.1 which includes the ability to save an initial screen geometry (root.geometry(f"{w}x{h}+{x}+{y}") the json config file. That may resolve your issue, but ideally I'd like to see a full error Traceback first.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks

FYI RC 1.6.1 is still a work in progress, but if you want to install it and see if it resolves your issue, be my guest:

python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient.git@RC-1.6.1

Let me know how you get on.
