[Bug]: weird resizing on Wayland/labwc #2045

Open wastlnd opened 2 months ago

wastlnd commented 2 months ago

What happened?

Running labwc, I have the sfwbar as taskbar. When I kill the taskbar the conky window resizes to a small square in the middle of the screen, just showing the top output. The only way to fix this is to set "own_window_type = override", but this means that the output text will overlap with any other window that I will open.

Version

1.21.6

Which OS/distro are you seeing the problem on?

Arch Linux

Conky config

Hi, i do not use sfwbar but it also happens when i kill my panel(lxqt-panel).

To fix this, you can kill and re-start conky, i use the following in a .desktop to do it:

Exec=bash -c 'pkill conky && conky &>/dev/null'

I'm in labwc too.

As own_window_type changes the behavior, this is likely an issue with the xwayland implementation in labwc in combination with the X11 backend of conky. So this doesn't look like a conky wayland backend issue.
