Hello, Diolinux team!

I'm experiencing an issue when trying to use PhotoGIMP in full screen mode on Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS. The application's window either:

  • does not fully expand to fill the screen, or

  • overflows the screen boundaries, especially downward or sideways.

This happens even when using a single monitor and on a fresh installation of the system.


Some information from my system:

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

  • Desktop Environment: GNOME with Wayland

  • Active GNOME Extensions:

    • ding@rastersoft.com
    • tiling-assistant@ubuntu.com
    • ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com
    • ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com
  • GIMP installation method: Flatpak

    • org.gimp.GIMP version 3.0.2 (stable channel)

The issue occurs with PhotoGIMP (after applying the patch).


  • I've tried to force GIMP to run with X11 via GDK_BACKEND=x11 flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP, but the issue persists

  • Disabled GNOME extensions like tiling-assistant, but the bug continues


Not sure if others are facing the same issue, even found any forum with some helpfull information — and ChatGPT can't save me 😭. I hope this helps with the investigation. Thank you very much 🙏
