Originally created by @metaltermite on GitHub (May 20, 2020).

There is too much bottom padding, which is fine by default, but setting the bottom padding to 0 doesn't reduce the bottom padding to the bottom window margin as you'd expect, there's still a fair amount of padding.

Annotation 2020-05-20 021735

(Also Setting bottom padding to -1, doesn't reduce it; setting bottom padding to -2, reduces the padding but the bottom margin gets clipped.)

Environment

Windows build number:  10.0.18363.836
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1401.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Run any app, such as byobu, that draws a horizontal bar at the bottom of the terminal to gauge the size of the padding. Set bottom padding to 0, "padding": "0, 0, 0, 0"

Expected behavior

The bottom margin should be flush with the bottom of the terminal window

Actual behavior

There's still a fair amount of bottom padding.

@zadjii-msft commented on GitHub (May 20, 2020):

This is unfortunately by-design. That space that's there on the bottom of the window isn't big enough for an entire row of text, so we just fill it with blank space. That's generally preferable to a row of characters that's only partially visible. Otherwise, the only solution would be to prevent the window from filling the entire screen while maximized, which I'm sure that no one really wants.

Thanks!

The kitty terminal, for example, has a placement_strategy property that can be used to configure the placement of the terminal area with respect to the window (and therefore where the paddings are placed). When set to center, you get two smaller paddings at the top and the bottom instead of one fat padding at the bottom only, partially mitigating the problem. I guess many would also prefer the bottom strategy that moves the padding to the top, as programs like tmux and vim have status bars at the bottom by default.

When set to `center`, you get two smaller paddings at the top and the bottom instead of one fat padding at the bottom only, partially mitigating the problem.

Workaround: Set font size (and line height). Example: my resolution is 1080p. Let's say I run the terminal in full screen.
Examples that work: font size 13 and line height 1.2, or font size 12 and line height 1.5. As long as the lines (relatively) fit into 1080 pixels.
12pt = 16px, 1080 % (16 * 1.5) == 0
