Comment #3 on issue 290 by vogt.adam: Windows are no longer visible but are still there http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=290 A similar result happens when you kill a window when xmonad is recompiling/restarting. Before xmonad was changed to recompile in the background (post-0.8.1) you could have enough time to kill a window while it was recompiling, and xmonad would still leave space for the window because the dead window would be added to the StackSet from the serialized state. Are there borders drawn for the 'invisible' window (if yes, then ignore my suggestion, since none are drawn for elements in the WindowSet that do not refer to an actual window) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
