wingo doesn't adapt to screen resolution change #69

Open cshapeshifter opened 11 years ago

cshapeshifter commented 11 years ago

When changing the screen resolution using xrandr like this:

xrandr --output eDP1 --mode 1024x768

then the windows extend to the right and below the bottom of the screen, as shown in the screenshot. This happens both for tiled windows, or when maximising a floating window. It's as if wingo were still working with a larger desktop.

This is a full-screen screenshot after changing the resolution, illustrating the problem:

This does not happen when I use compiz instead.

I had same issue. One monitor (main on laptop) has resolution 1080p and other one 1240x1024 (or something like this).

Same problem here, using xrandr to setup the screen resolution, could it be a matter of xrandr running too late? In my case the xrandr command is in the startup hook in the hooks.wini config.

Sorry I haven't responded yet. I haven't had a chance to diagnose the exact bug yet, but I can think of two possible work arounds until I fix the bug:

Restart Wingo.
Run xrandr before Wingo starts.

Thanks to @cskau, we have a temporary fix https://github.com/BurntSushi/wingo/pull/83.

This bug has to stay open until I get around to a proper fix.
