FvwmPager ignores "Monitor" setting on the second monitor (shared mode)

[NsCDE]

• Fvwm3 version (run: fvwm3 --version)

fvwm3 1.0.5 (1.0.4-16-g3663d42d)

• Linux distribution or BSD name/version

Debian 11

Expected Behaviour

In "shared" DesktopConfiguration mode, FvwmPager, when called with "Module" should read "Monitor" line in configuration and select desk in the FvwmPager on Monitor where pointer is.

Actual Behaviour

FvwmPager in "shared" DesktopConfiguration mode, when calling it with the pointer on non-primary monitor pops up with the name and background (but not the windows) of the desk on primary monitor. This behaviour stops once desk is changed on second monitor for the first time. Switching back to primary monitor and calling FvwmPager there, resets this normalization, and bug can be triggered again as described.

Hi @NsCDE

This seems to work OK for me? Here's what I have:

DesktopConfiguration shared

DestroyModuleConfig FPH:*
*FPH: Monitor HDMI-1

KillModule FvwmPager FPH
Module FvwmPager FPH * *

Hi @ThomasAdam

I see the bug immediately. For a better visibility, this was what I used:

DestroyModuleConfig FPH:*
*FPH: DeskTopScale 10
*FPH: Monitor Virtual-2

KillModule FvwmPager FPH
Module FvwmPager FPH * 3

Monitor Virtual-2 is non-primary secondary. On the page 0 0 of both monitors I have windows. If I put "Monitor Virtual-1" (primary) in the configuration above, then I see window representations in pager, but with "Monitor Virtual-2" I got empty page altrough there ARE windows on Virtual-2 page 0 0. If I "walk" all 4 pages in pager, there is no windows on them in pager, but they should be there on 0 0.

@NsCDE

AFAICT, this should be fixed by PR #978 -- @somiaj has done some excellent work to improve this situation. From the testing I've done so far this seems to have resolved this.

I'll mark this as closed once that PR has been merged, and if you find any other problems with FvwmPager and shared mode, please open specific bug reports.
