18:17 < Biolunar> when i change my resolution in dwm (to a smaller one) and then back to the native, the top bar is not repainted. that's since 5.7.2, in 5.6 it worked fine

18:19 < Biolunar> is it just happening to me or a (known) bug?

18:24 < Biolunar> and in addition, mplayers fullscreen is limited to the small resolution after i changed it back to the native

reproducible with xrandr -s but not with --output and --mode, strange

---

yet another corner case:

open a terminal, focus another monitor, but without moving the mouse

pointer there

if there is no client on the other monitor to get the focus, then the

terminal will be unfocused but it will accept input

Donald Allen reported this:

starting emacs from dmenu in archlinux results in missing configure of emacs, but mod1-space or mod1-shift-space fix this problem. this problem is new and did not happen in 1.6 xorg servers

Starting emacs from xterm doesnt show this problem, he uses tag 8 for emacs

This is a known bug (for some curiosity I received the same report via 

privmail from 2 other people within one week, really strange). 

The quick fix is commenting out the code in lines 817/818 in hg tip 

dwm. I cannot confirm this has no side effects (I think it does) and I 

will address this issue shortly with a real fix.

Patching SDL, bugging them?

voltaic reports this:

When I use two monitors, one larger in resolution than the other, the

bar is drawn using the smaller x-dimension on both screens. I think

what's happening is that there are two bars drawn, but the short bar

is always on top of the long bar such that I can't see the information

under the short bar. If I switch to the small screen, hide the short

bar, and then switch to the large screen, the long bar is drawn

correctly.

A similar problem occurs when I have started dwm on a small resolution

monitor (laptop screen) and then I switch to a large external display.

When I do this, the bar itself is drawn for the original smaller

resolution, but the information to be printed on the bar is

right-aligned for a longer bar. So what I see is a bar that has the

right hand side of it cut-off. See attached screenshot.

I am using standard options for xrandr such as --output VGA1 --auto, etc.
