Weird floating window sizes #214

Open sakshamsharma opened 7 years ago

sakshamsharma commented 7 years ago

I noticed this somewhat related issue #181 Floating windows sometimes have unexpected sizes, which I'm unable to tweak. For instance, when I send an email using thunderbird (the progress bar pop up which shows what step is going on while sending), while saving something using google chrome, when I'm copying a file using pcmanfm, or when I'm renaming a file using pcmanfm.

The dialog boxes are quite queerly sized, often making it impossible for me to do what I intended (hiding the rename file input box for example, or making it so small, it is unreadable). Can someone point out how to fix this?

Also, I've been using almost the default configuration (just added some keybindings and some prefix keys for chrome/urxvt, that's it). Despite that, I am unable to resize these floating dialogs using super+mouse3. That's an issue too.

Thanks for this awesome package!

This issue reminds me of a previous bug report. Which version of Emacs do you use? They might be closely related.

As for the key binding problem, please check if modifying exwm-input-resize-event works. I suspect this problem is related to https://github.com/ch11ng/exwm/issues/208#issuecomment-265959530.

I am on emacs 25.1.50.1. Can you point to the related bug report you mention? I didn't see any such on searching. I'll look up for the keybindings thing. Thanks!

I meant #156. But your version seems not affected. Could you prepare a log file according to the user guide (be sure to only include relevant messages)?
