Inconsistent behavior when zooming out #15925
Description
Windows Terminal version
1.17.11461.0
Windows build number
10.0.22621.2215
Other Software
No response
Steps to reproduce
Open Terminal, maximize the window, and zoom all the way out (easiest with the mouse wheel). Now run a command which produces a lot of output (e.g. tree) or paste an absolutely enormous amount of text (preferably with no newlines).
Expected Behavior
Terminal uses up screen or has a fixed size maximum that it uses.
Actual Behavior
After these initial steps, Terminal only displays in roughly the top top 1/3 and left 1/2 (i.e. about 1/6th) of the window. Upon resizing, the Terminal now displays in the full scale of the window. Screenshot of the used area of the initial window and then the exact same window after maximising then restoring:
Initially I was going to open this as "Terminal lets you zoom too far out" but, actually, it handles it just fine. It's just not consistent about how it handles the size for some reason. Also kudos that this level of zoom somehow works at all!

Hi Daniel Smith (@zamadatix). Can you check if this repros when you're using the atlas engine? It's a checkbox in the Settings UI under the rendering settings.

Sorry, I totally forgot to mention this only happens with AtlasEngine enabled!
Edit: Also the close issue button is annoying close to the comment button for my thumbs ;).

It only happens with Atlas you say? Well, that's great! That narrows down the bug source considerably. I bet we're just off by one resize or something in atlas.
Thanks for the follow-up!

Huh, as it turns out, I think this has accidentally been fixed already: I can't reproduce this on main or on v1.18.1421.0. I'm not sure which commit fixed it, but I'm pretty sure it was #14959.
In other words, if you try Windows Terminal Preview, this issue should not occur anymore. 🙂
