Pretty hydras not getting a big enough posframe

[jerrypnz]

Ha you ran into the exact same issue I had. I initially thought it's a bug in pretty-hydra but as you mentioned, there is no problem when using lv display type (the extra new line at the end is also displayed as your screenshot shows). I was able to reproduce the issue with a simple posframe-show call.

(posframe-show "*test-posframe*" :string "\n foo \n bar \n foobar \n" :internal-border-width 1 :internal-border-color "red")

and I saw two problems:

• Not all content is displayed when there are leading/trailing spaces on each line (which is the case for pretty hydra hints)
• No matter how many new lines I put at the end, it didn't affect the height at all

It seems to be an issue in fit-frame-to-buffer which posframe uses to resize the frame.

I got around it by forking hydra-posframe and adding an ugly hack: jerrypnz/hydra-posframe@7a0506b

Glad to know it's not just me. I was finding it messy to use the hydra-posframe package, and it turns out not to be necessary any more anyway, so I removed it and adapted your workaround (eg. pasted it with one small modification) into hydra-posframe-show in the hydra package and that's working ok. It's unfortunately slow (I can see it adjust the frame size) and of course, it's a messy hack ;-). Is there a path to a real fix here? Is it a matter of digging through fit-frame-to-buffer to try and sort it out?

For me it feels fast enough and I never saw it adjust the size. I didn't get a chance to further dig into it but might be worth reproducing the issue with a minimal config and report a bug for posframe?

Closing it as it's not really an issue of pretty-hydra.
