Hi, I have been noticing a few bugs with the contributed Tabbed layout
Since David is getting married I'll try to have a look.
(1) Sometimes the tabs will be drawn on top of floating windows. I think this only happens when a floating window is opened in a location that overlaps with a tab, but I haven't found a systematic way of testing this.
I need a way to verify. I'll try to make some tests.
(2) The text in tabs does not properly handle Unicode. I am assuming my applications, for example Firefox, are using UTF8 in their title strings. In such cases the tab is simply blank. This occurs regardless of whether TabbedLayout is configured with a font that contains the offending glyph or not. The expected behavior when the font does not have the glyph would be to use a blank or box like many other applications do.
Haskell and C, plus Unicode is a big mess for me (especially the C side), but I'm interested in the problem and I will have a look and try to find a solution.
(3) This is more of an enhancement, but it would be very useful to be able to specify XFT fonts in addition to "classical" X11 fonts for tabs.
sorry but this is very far from being something I have an idea about. I have a feeling, though, and it says "No way!" All the best, Andrea
