Issue 455 in xmonad: xmonad munges dialogs

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 455 by hramr...@gmail.com: xmonad munges dialogs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=455 When you move a workspace containing a floating dialog from one screen to another the dialog changes size. For some reason when the dialog appears on different screen than the app was last show it is (at least sometimes) munged as well. Note that the dialog has an application specified size at the start so I don't see any reason to resize it later.

Comment #1 on issue 455 by ivan.miljenovic: xmonad munges dialogs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=455 Are your two screens different resolutions? I've had that issue and just lived with it; from memory it's because XMonad proportinally resizes all windows when switching screens.

Comment #2 on issue 455 by hramr...@gmail.com: xmonad munges dialogs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=455 Yes, the two screens are different size. And it's a bug to resize floated dialogs like this. it is not predictable nor correct nor anything desirable, it's just a bug.

Comment #3 on issue 455 by claudio....@gmail.com: xmonad munges dialogs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=455 I have one screen in portrait mode and the other one in landscape mode and this problem is amplified. For example: If I have a 400x200 floated window and move the workspace from the landscape screen to the portrait screen the floated window gets resized to 200x400. Even fixed size dialogs are resized, making them look wrong: desura login box, XFCE's alt+f2 run menu, etc. Any workarounds will be appreciated.
