Hello Salih,

Please do not use these mailing lists. I stopped using them a long time
ago. Check the current repositories on either GitHub or GitLab.

No worries! Though note that I no longer use these mailing lists. I now
realise I forgot to delete them. Will do it shortly.

Anyway, to your point: could this be due to the tiling window manager in
combination with the default value of 'frame-resize-pixelwise', which is
nil?

Hello Saša,

I have noted this in a previous message to you from almost a month ago,
but I repeat. This mailing list is defunct and I will eventually delete
it: <https://protesilaos.com/codelog/2024-01-27-sourcehut-no-more/>.
Development continues on GitHub with GitLab as a mirror. Please use
those.
