I've asked the question on SO before, but maybe it is better placed here.

I'm running on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS (X11) and have p4merge installed in version p4v-2024.3.2656785.

I'm using p4merge since years and I really like it, but recently it started to open all windows minimized and if you want to check the differences you have to maximize the window manually. If you are doing a diff/merge with multiple files, this is quite annoying.

Maybe this is related to the recent ubuntu upgrade 24.04 -> 24.04.1, but I think the issue started shortly before.

In the past it opened the first window minimized and after i maximized this window, it then remembered its state and open the following windows in maximized view.

In my .gitconfig the diff/merge command for p4merge looks like this:

[mergetool "p4m"]
  cmd = p4merge $BASE $LOCAL $REMOTE $MERGED
  keepTemporaries = false
  trustExitCode = false
  keepBackup = false

[difftool "p4m"]
  cmd = p4merge $LOCAL $REMOTE

Any ideas how to fix this?

  • +1 Yes this is super annoying. I started seeing this with a recent install of p4merge on a new Ubuntu workstation. Makes using it for real work nearly impossible. Commented Dec 9, 2024 at 6:13
  • It seems that in version: 2024.4 /2695759 the issue was fixed. Well ... most of the time ... or not ??? I'm a little bit confused - it works then stops working and opens the diff minimized - and then it works again for some diffs after I maximized the window manually ... Commented Jan 21 at 12:28
