tmux wrong size in i3
tmux is not properly sizing itself to the terminal it is in.
What I'm seeing:
- 1 line of all dots at the bottom
- Vertical split hapens 2/3rds across the screen, not 1/2
I don't have any other clients connected that would determine the size.
I'm running this in i3wm (trying it out for the first time) and did not have this problem in my previous window manager. I found if I open another window next to it and then close it, tmux resizes correctly to fit the window. Though tmux list-client lists the same dimensions before and after, so I'm not really sure what is changing.
How can I force tmux to refresh its size without having to open another window next to it? Or better yet, how can I get tmux to start with the correct size when running in i3wm?
Some addition details if they matter. I'm using:
- tmux 3.7b
- tmux-resurrect
- alacritty 0.17.0
- CachyOS
