Certain window items are unclickable on Firefox under IceWM #771

Easily reproducable. Just watch any video on Firefox and try to click the window pop-out floater (or whatever they call it). Doesn't work half the time. Works after minimization and restoral, the first time, every time, and randomly other times. I have no idea yet where to start looking, or what could cause this.

I didn't know that this could be caused by the Window Manager - and judging by some of these issues, it's not just IceWM: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=can%27t+click - I'm sure because this never happens on any other window manager that I've used. I keep coming back to IceWM for its insane snappiness, and I've just discovered the command line automation tools. Anyways huge thanks to everyone who built and are maintaining IceWM!!!

Sorry, I'm a fool. Obviously using the Debian packaged version from Ubuntu here. Can't remember if this ever happened if I compiled from source. Let me see if I can update the Debian package...

In case its still present in the latest version, a note to self to search https://github.com/search?q=org%3Amozilla+_NET_WM_&type=code

Unsurprisingly, new version hasn't done this yet. Bad version still in Debian/Ubuntu is icewm 2.9.6-1

The issues here are not to be used as a blog about attempts to produce an issue. Next time think first, do your examinations in private and reach a level of actuality, certainty and conciseness before you ask others to wake up and spend valuable time reading whatever your fingers produce on the keyboard. Thanks so much.
