Issue 413 in xmonad: Windows don't disappear
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 413 by srburnet: Windows don't disappear http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=413 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a window (e.g., a terminal, although it happens to all types of windows) 2. Do a bunch of other work with other windows. (This doesn't happen if you open and close a window immediately). 3. Close the original window. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The window should disappear and the wallpaper should be shown. Instead, an artifact image of the window remains, although the window itself has definitely closed. I can't interact with the window and if open a new window xmonad behaves as if there is no additional window (the screen isn't split between the two windows). I can even drag a small window around in tiling mode over the image of the window and "erase" the closed window (i.e., the wallpaper is redrawn in areas touched by the window). I've attached a screenshot that hopefully makes sense. Note that the problem is very rare. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for which windows have the problem. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad darcs, on Arch Linux. I am using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers with dual monitors (Twinview). I am not using compositing. The problem has occured with multiple versions of xmonad, the kernel versions, and the NVIDIA driver. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". xmonad --recompile yields no output. Attachments: xmonad.hs 5.2 KB bug.png 741 KB

Comment #11 on issue 200 by wapcaplet88: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 Same issue here, on Gentoo with xmonad-0.9 and openoffice-bin-3.2.0. Adding 'export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen' to ~/.xsession worked a treat!

better combineTwoP and Property

I modified combineTwoP and Property. http://hpaste.org/45435/combinetwoqb New name is combineTwoQB Now windows use full screen space always!

Issue 498 in xmonad: Borders are not around the window with the focus
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 498 by rlblas...(a)gmail.com: Borders are not around the window with the focus http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=498 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a terminal and open a file from it in evince. E.g. type "evince a.pdf &" (assuming a.pdf exists in the current directory). 2. Now evince comes into the focus, it has the borders around its window. 3. Go back to the terminal and type "evince a.pdf". This should refresh evince. 4. Observe that evince is in focus by pressing j/k or other evince shortcuts. 5. Also observe that the terminal's window still has borders around it like it's in focus. Basically the focus and the border decoration is not in sync. One of the applications should have both the focus and the border. $ xmonad --version xmonad 0.10

Issue 436 in xmonad: XMonad.Layout.IM doesn't match UTF8 chars
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 16 Jul '13

16 Jul '13

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 436 by o.a.stephens: XMonad.Layout.IM doesn't match UTF8 chars http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=436 I am encountering the same issue as per http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=302 using his same test case. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Configure withIM layout to match a window title with UTF8 chars as roster. Ex: withIM (1%7) (Title "foo™") (Tall 1 0.5 0.5) 2. Run a window with the configured name. Ex: xterm -T "foo™" -e read What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The window should be placed as withIM layout roster. In this case, on a separated column to the left. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest XMonad Darcs on Arch X86_64. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No output from xmonad --recompile. Please provide any additional information below. Comments from #xmonad having queried my issue: <allbery_b> I'm looking at darcs... WindowProperties uses the ManageHook code (!! --- more evidence that it's mis-typed) and ManageHook.hs in the core uses getStringProperty everywhere <allbery_b> (in particular it's using it for _NET_WM_* which is completely wrong as they are all defined as Unicode stored as 32 bit lists) <allbery_b> suggest you reopen that bug report, or file a new one about _NET_WM_* being misinterpreted I am attempting to match Skype's window title, which also contains the ™ character.

Issue 432 in xmonad: Module for linking workspaces in a multihead setup
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 14 May '13

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 432 by que...(a)gmail.com: Module for linking workspaces in a multihead setup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=432 Hey, I just wanted to share some of the functions I have written for linking workspaces. The idea is that the module maintains a list of workspaces that are linked together. Whenever one switches to one of these workspaces, the other monitors are switched to the linked ones. Maybe it's of interest to someone else. It would be nice if it could be added to contrib. Best regards, Jan Attachments: linkWorkspaces.patch 60.6 KB

Issue 402 in xmonad: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 402 by 6181989: Xmonad becomes unresponsive. No focus changing (using keys or mouse), workspace changing or recompile. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=402 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. No idea. Each time time it's with relatively few windows open (chromium with ~10 tabs and ~4 instances of urxvt). Nothing too heavy. Seems to be random at this point. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect it to...well, no lock up. But it freezes up and none of the keybindings in haskell.hs work (can't even recompile). I can't change workspaces or window focus, but the currently focused window still has its (non-monad related) bindings and functionality work fine (chromium, screen w/ urxvt) and I can still ctrl+alt+F1 to console. Mouse still works, but it doesn't change focus on the windows. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Arch x86_64 with kernel 2.6.34-ARCH and xmonad 0.9.1 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No --recompile output. See attached for xmonad.hs. Please provide any additional information below. It's done it twice in the less than 24 hours I've had it installed. ivanm @ #xmonad has confirmed this problem also.
