I've very occasionally seen that tall-window issue under old Ubuntu releases, but never often enough that I could troubleshoot it.  It's a window-manager or Python-bindings issue, nothing GPSD is doing - as Gary says, the xgps window size is constant depending only on the way the Python widgets pack.

You should report it to Mint upstream.

That is not one of our versions.  Current is 3.18.1.

gpsd does not maintain the Mint package.  gpsd is distributed as a source package.  You have a binary package, from Mint.  Any problem with their dependencies you need to talk to them.

Currently the xgps screen size if fixed.

gpsd and gpsd-clients ver 3.17-5
OS - Linux Mint 19 Mate 64 bit

Starting xgps displayed the following error:
TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'

We installed python-gi-cairo and that appears to be needed.
Should python-gi-cairo be a dependency of gpsd- clients?

The GUI window is much taller than the screen and we cant find a way to shrink it vertically.
It fit the screen in Mint 17 and Mint 18.
