Setup info

Distro: Gentoo. Graphics: Nvidia (absolutely proprietary)

Problem statement

Hello, I need to scan some documents, for which I need to use Xsane, however, Hyprland doesn't seem to play well with it.

Problem demonstration

https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/assets/45941793/55fe0b40-1a42-417d-b25c-6dc59bb7b2ce

Steps to reproduce

1. Be me
2. Have a working printer/scanner
3. Decide to scan some documents, install xsane to do so
4. Open xsane to issue a command to scan

Expected outcome

Window renders with sane(as the name implies) dimensions

Noted outcome

Unusable window and a terrible experience

Suggested solutions

This is likely an xsane issue, but it would be nice to have a Hyprland-related fix for legacy programs like these that were likely designed with X11 in mind. Sure XWayland exists for that purpose, but something similar to Wine's virtual desktop would be a nice thing.

try making the window bigger, then making a windowrule to keep it big

How do I make the window bigger manually? xsane has a bunch of tiny windows i am not sure i can manage individually

windowrule nomaxsize would allow you to resize it past its advertised max size

Does this still happen?
