I have managed to figure out how to fix the issue - I removed my ~/.config/git/gitk. Upon recreation, everything worked fine. I ran a diff between the old and the new file and discovered the issue was this line in the gitk configuration: ``` set geometry(state) zoomed ``` If you change "zoomed" to "normal" then gitk works again. I don't know enough about git-gui internals to help more than this, but it looks like the "zoomed" state is broken somehow. -Dan On Mon, Jan 25, 2021 at 1:57 PM Dan Lew <dlew@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, > Would love some help, having trouble getting gitk up and running again... > > Here's the details from `git bugreport`: > > What did you do before the bug happened?
