Issue 346 in xmonad: xmonad will not render dialog windows.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 346 by Monkey.Andrew: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 What steps will reproduce the problem? Opening (so far) any gtk application's open dialog (file > open), and the dialog will not render, as if it were an invisible window. The proof of its existence lies in how it steals focus from its parent window and how the cursor changes when on top of it. When I move the dialog window, it appears and I can interact with it normally from there on out. This has happened with chromium, firefox, openoffice, and gvbam. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? See above. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.9 on archlinux Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". main=do xmonad $ defaultConfig { terminal ="urxvt -bg black -fg white +sb -tr -sh 50" , modMask =mod4Mask , borderWidth=3 Please provide any additional information below. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #1 on issue 346 by vogt.adam: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I can't reproduce this (with darcs xmonad). Does it happen for you with other window managers (both tiling and regular ones)? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #2 on issue 346 by Monkey.Andrew: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 It does not. Awesome and Fluxbox render these windows normally. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #3 on issue 346 by DaPatti: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 So do i3, Openbox and dwm. I'm also encountering this, I'm using Arch and xmonad 0.9 too.

Comment #4 on issue 346 by Lucas.Westermann: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 This problem occurs for me as well on Arch Linux x86_64, in both xmonad and xmonad-darcs. The problem seems to be linked with my compositing manager (cairo-compmgr) since the moment I turn it off, windows are rendered as they should be. Not sure if that helps anyone, but it's something I noticed.

Comment #5 on issue 346 by DaPatti: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 ^ Can confirm.

Comment #6 on issue 346 by exiquio: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I am having a similar issue on Arch Linux x86_64 where dialogs are cause problems with applications like Amarok. The dialogs seem to be "there" but I don't see them until I click in their focus "sight". Thn they pop up. These issue only happen to me when I am running the young cairo-compmgr side by side with Xmonad.

Comment #7 on issue 346 by allbery.b: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 #4, #6: Sounds to me like cairo-compmgr is getting confused and rendering the windows with opacity 0. Are you using X.H.FadeInactive, or some other way to mark the opacity of windows?

Comment #8 on issue 346 by DaPatti: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I'm not using FadeInactive or anything else that alters opacity, AFAICT.

Comment #9 on issue 346 by hramr...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I have no issues with file open dialogs on Debian

Comment #10 on issue 346 by yuta.tan...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I have the same problem on xmonad-0.10 + xmonad-contrib-0.10 + compton (or cairo-compmgr). From my observation, such windows are actually rendered, but not above the other windows. I can see the windows through my semi-transparent terminal windows, and even use them as usual. Logically, the floating windows are placed above the other tiled windows. However they are rendered below the other tiled ones.

Comment #11 on issue 346 by hanswc...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 Probably related to this issue: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/5 This happens for me with floating windows in xmonad 0.10 + compton v0.0.1, Arch Linux. The windows become visible when moving them.

Comment #12 on issue 346 by hramr...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 I suspect this as well as many other bugs is caused by xmonad not managing z-order. In a tiled layout the z-order is not really relevant but once you allow any floating windows you need z-order match the logical order xmonad assigns to windows.

Comment #13 on issue 346 by allber...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 xmonad does manage z-order, albeit not optimally. I think there's another bug already where I proposed some changes to how we update the z-order (briefly: when possible use raiseWindow/lowerWindow instead of the current behavior XMonad.Operations.windows defining the entire z-ordering all at once based on the zipper).

Comment #14 on issue 346 by hanswc...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 This patch to compton seems to fix the issue for me: https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/5#issuecomment-8355235

Comment #15 on issue 346 by hanswc...@gmail.com: xmonad will not render dialog windows. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=346 Correction: The patch above fixes the most annoying issue with windows rendered behind windows, but xmonad will still render some dialog windows behind windows.
