I try to send this one a second time. I sent it two weeks ago, but
never showed up in my list... is the list rejecting silently message
sent from an address different from the one you are subscribed to?
Hi all.
Yesterday exiting fvwm I could read this errors in my console
(repeated a lot of times, no idea how much, filled the console buffer):
[FVWM] [FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error ***
[FVWM] [FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 12, Error 2, EventType: 28
The "more" is that till in this version there is some problem with timed
events.
AddToFunc "Move-or-Raise" "I" Raise
+ "M" Move
+ "D" RaiseLower
I think this is a known problem, but... for example if you have the
standard "raise or move" bound to the title bar, and you click,
wait the right bit, :-) , and hop, the windows got moved even if you
have released the mouse button and follow you.
Another one is: if you have set up
EdgeScroll 100 100
EdgeResistance 750 50
OpaqueMoveSize 40
and you move a nice solid xterm rapidly from the botton (for exemple)
to the top of screen, stooping mouse on the very top, you can get in a
situation where your xterm is blocked halfway, and then "jump" to the
mouse position. But the most surprising thing is that if you release
the mouse when window is blocked, and move it in another part of the
screen, the xterm when start moving "flash" in the mouse position and the
finally go to its right place on top of the screen.
And last, but I suspect it's an interaction with AutoRaise module:
suppose you have like me AutoRaise 2000 and follow mouse focus. Then,
put an xterm window partially overlaying another one , and when you
have your window raised, to the following:
Move mouse on the title of the underlying window
type "exit" and return in it so that you exit just when window
is raised
You now have the mouse pointer converted to a dot waiting (I
suppose) raising some target (I suppose because it is not simple to
get the timing right... but it happens now and then).
Well, fvwm is I think the better WM around the world, fast and nice
looking. I hope this can help to spot the last bugs in it... keep with
the fantastic work!
Bye,
Romano.
