removing external monitor eats windows #108

Closed mischief closed 8 years ago

mischief commented 9 years ago

steps to reproduce:

exec spectrwm from startx
spawn windows (workspace 1, 2)
setup external monitor: xrandr --output eDP1 --auto --output DP2 --auto --above eDP1
unplug external monitor
remove external monitor with xrandr --auto
windows are eaten.

in my case, windows get eaten from workspace 1. the processes are still running, but the windows are gone and unaccessible (not in m-S-w)

spectrwm 2.7.2 built from gentoo portage ebuild.

If you toggle the bar (MOD-b) do the windows reappear?

Also, what GPU and video driver?

mischief commented 9 years ago

@LordReg no toggling bar does not make the windows appear.

ping @LordReg. is there any additional info that i can provide? can you reproduce this?

LordReg commented 8 years ago

Is this still an issue on master branch?

mischief commented 8 years ago

i haven't hit this in a long time, and i've still been using 2.7.2 from gentoo. could be that an underlying X library changed and fixed this mysterious problem. looking forward to a new release though :-)
