Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 571 by sl...@azavea.com: Other workspaces windows viewable on empty workspaces http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=571 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Visit empty workspace, open a program, like a web browser. 2. Visit another empty workspace (mod+<1/2/3/etc.>) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see an empty workspace, with my background image. Instead, I see the program I opened on the other workspace. I can't do anything to it, it just appears to be there. This is a bit disorienting. If I open a window on every workspace, this bug is not a problem. Workspaces and window management work as expected. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Debian GNU/Linux, unstable branch. Installed through apt. I recently did a large amount of package upgrades, and this bug was introduced. Oddly, I did the same updates on another machine, running an almost identical stack with xmonad, and the bug does not exist. Here's the xmonad package info (on both machines): ------------------------------------------- steve@euwe:~$ apt-cache show xmonad Package: xmonad Source: xmonad (0.11-7) Version: 0.11-7+b1 Installed-Size: 2666 Maintainer: Debian Haskell Group <pkg-haskell-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> Architecture: amd64 Replaces: xmonad-rebuild Provides: x-window-manager Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), libffi6 (>= 3.0.4), libgmp10, libx11-6, libxext6, libxinerama1, libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.3), x11-utils Recommends: libghc-xmonad-dev, libghc-xmonad-doc, xfonts-base Suggests: dmenu Conflicts: xmonad-rebuild Description-en: Lightweight X11 window manager written in Haskell Xmonad is a minimalist tiling window manager for X, written in Haskell. Windows are managed using automatic layout algorithms, which can be dynamically reconfigured. At any time windows are arranged so as to maximise the use of screen real estate. All features of the window manager are accessible purely from the keyboard: a mouse is entirely optional. Xmonad is configured in Haskell, and custom layout algorithms may be implemented by the user in config files. A principle of Xmonad is predictability: the user should know in advance precisely the window arrangement that will result from any action. . This package comes pre-configured with the default configuration. If you want to build your custom-configured version, make sure that libghc-xmonad-dev is installed and put your configuration in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs Description-md5: a827bdbc621fa78a6624eb347265b935 Homepage: http://xmonad.org/ Tag: implemented-in::haskell, interface::x11, role::program, uitoolkit::xlib, x11::window-manager Section: x11 Priority: optional Filename: pool/main/x/xmonad/xmonad_0.11-7+b1_amd64.deb Size: 430140 MD5sum: 46df4852f126117d3980856504ce5278 SHA1: 10203968a65d0a51ad989cda49c5225c4d5ef224 SHA256: 39073c319cc4eb1b8995dbabfe14b2ce2c268edab07275bb8f472c7faaffd314 ------------------------------------------- Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". I am, but this bug exists when I don't use it. "xmonad --recompile" produces no output. My xmonad.hs can be seen here: https://github.com/steventlamb/xmonad-config/blob/53340a37a6daf5f814f0fe79db... Please provide any additional information below. I'm mostly looking for some direction for how to go forward. Has anyone seen this? Is there a term used to describe this bug/behavior? Something like "Sticky windows". -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
