Ghostty intermittently freezes input when window at full width/height

[schambers]

I'm having odd freezes that manifest in the terminal not updating what I'm typing into it. If i click on another pane, or switch tabs and then go back to the "frozen" pane, it updates and I see the text that I typed but didnt see previously.

My machine is fairly new, MBP M3 pro, purchased less than 12 months ago. 32gb of memory. At any one time, even with dev tools open only 14GB of ram is in use on the machine. Ghostty is using a very small amount of that.

Latest osx, I'm also using zsh for my shell.

Open to any suggestions or things to try. Or if I could provide any more information that could be used to turn this into an issue, I'm open to that.

This seems to be becoming worse as time goes on to the point where it's pretty much unusable and I had to fall back to previous terminal

This seems to be getting worse as I go along. Now it happens any time I have ghostty open. If ghostty has focus, after typing 3-4 characters it stops refreshing the UI and it seems like its frozen. If i then click another application or alt+tab away from ghostty, it refreshes and I see all the text I had been typing in.

Unfortunately this has made ghostty unusable for me and I had to revert back to my previous terminal software.

Details of my hardware:
M3 Pro
36GB of memory
macOS 14.6.1

I've determine this has something to do with ghostty being at max monitor width/height as far as window size.

If i double click on the title bar and it maximizes to fill the screen, this non-update behavior starts almost immeaditely. If it is not the full size of the screen, it never happens

I cannot reproduce this on tip. Can you please share your Ghostty version?

[schambers]

version is 1.1.0
build 9283
commit sha: https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/commits/facda0c3

I should note that i have two external monitors connected to my macbook pro. One with usb-c port and one with hdmi port. Having ghostty maximized on any screen causes this behavior

Can you try the latest tip build and see if this is fixed?

[schambers]

Yes. I'll try that later this evening. Is there instructions on how to obtain that build. Do I need to build from source for osx?

Thanks!

Any of the following should work:

• homebrew brew install --cask ghostty@tip (might need to uninstall the normal Ghostty cask if you installed with brew originally)
• download the dmg directly from the tip release tag (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/releases/tag/tip)
• build from source
