Steps to reproduce

  1. Make sure Windows Terminal is >= version 1.23.12371.0:
Image
  1. This bug only occurs with these specific Windows Terminal settings applied:

Hide the title bar: Off
Always show tabs: Off

  1. Launch Neovim inside WSL with this minimal init.lua including a plugin manager and the plugin with the interaction along with it's required dependencies:
-- bootstrap lazy.nvim
local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({
    "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none",
    "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath,
  })
end
vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)

require("lazy").setup({
  -- install noice, along with it's dependencies
  {
    "folke/noice.nvim",
    event = "VeryLazy",
    opts = {
    },
    dependencies = {
      "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim",
    }
  }
})
  1. Observe the extra padding below the statusline:
Image
  1. Note that this padding is independent from these settings:
Image
  1. To prove the above, change all padding to 0 and hide scrollbar visibility:
Image
  1. Observe the extra padding's persistence:
Image
  1. To prove that this only happens with the setting applied specified in step 2, turn both Hide the title bar and
    Always show tabs back on:
Image
  1. Observe the extra padding disappear:
Image

The extra padding does not appear on Windows Terminal version: 1.22.12111.0 no matter what combination of settings/plugins you use. You can follow the steps above with any combination of settings/plugins and the padding won't appear.

Note: This issue specifically occurs with noice.nvim, a plugin that removes the traditional command line interface. (I tested with the base vim setting that also removes the command line vim.opt.cmdheight = 0and the bug did not appear.(If you decide to test this, you should restart your terminal to ensure stale states do not remain.))

Expected Behavior

No padding at the bottom

Actual Behavior

Padding at the bottom

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2025):

You know, I wonder if this is just because we miscalculate the height of the title bar when you're running in "don't show tabs in the titlebar" mode.

In your "broken" screenshot, the titlebar is 44px, and the unexpected gutter is 15px tall.

In your "fixed" screenshot, the tab-bar-title-bar combo is 59px tall.

This might be related to #8527. That also mentions a problem with the window size calculation when showTabsInTitlebar is false.

Happens with Hide the title bar and Always show tabs enabled as well, but only when Windows Terminal is maximized.
